American Old Time Song Lyrics: 18 Farewell, Farewell, My Own True Love
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 18
Farewell, Farewell, My Own True Love
How can I bear to leave thee?
One parting kiss I give thee,
And then whate'er befalls me,
I go where honor calls me,
Farewell, farewell, my own true love?
Farewell, farewell, my own true love!
Ne'er more may I behold thee,
Nor to this heart enfold thee-
With spear and penon glancing,
I see the foe advancing.
Farewell, farewell, my own true level
Farewell, farewell, my own true love!
I'll think of thee with longing-
Think thou when tears are thronging-
And with my last faint sighing
I'll whisper soft, while dying,
Farewell, farewell, my own true love!
Farewell, farewell, my own true love!
