Fare thee well my pretty maid
I'm getting tired of you
Things ain't what they used to be
You're not the girl I knew

I'm sick and tired of begging you
To put a smile back in your eye
So goodbye, goodbye
I hope that you don't cry

Fare thee well my pretty maid
The time has come to part
I can't even find a way
To make another start

Please forgive me when I say
It almost breaks my heart
But goodbye, goodbye
I hope that you don't cry

Well many other nights
I've knelt and prayed you'd change dear
Many other days I've lived to cry
A shameless tear

Fare thee well my pretty maid
What a foolish boy I've been
You made me love you like a slave
You made yourself a Queen

I hope you'll find another fool
To set you up on high
Oh goodbye, goodbye
I hope that you don't cry

Goodbye, goodbye
I hope that you don't cry
