A fair good morn
Language: English
A fair good morn to thee, my love, A fair good morn to thee; And happy be thy path, my love, Though it end not with me, though it end not with me. No vows were ever spoken, We've no farewell to say: Gay were we when we met, love, We're parting just as gay, we're parting just as gay. So fare thee well, awhile, my love, So fare thee well, awhile, We have no parting sign to give, So part we with a smile, so part we with a smile.
