CFarewell, fareGwell to you who would Dhear
You Clonely Dtravellers Call
The Gcold north Cwind will Gblow Emagain
The Cwinding Droad does Ccall
And will you Gnever return to Dsee
Your Cbruised and Dbeaten Csons?
"Oh, I Gwould, I Cwould, if Gwelcome I Emwere
For they Cloath me, Devery onCe"
And will you never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be?
And can you never swear a year
To anyone of we?
"No, I will never cut the cloth
Or drink the light to be
But I'll swear a year to one who lies
Asleep along side of me"

Farewell, farewell to you who would hear
