Farewell Song

 

Bid me go, bid me go, I shall earn (I shall earn)

I shall earn thy love and do anything

thou will'st make me prove my love (prove my love)

I'll do anything for my love.

 

Refrain

A twelve months' mourn have I sworn to stay away from my love.

A twelve months' mourn hast thou sworn to stay away to keep thy vow.

 

I'll be true, I'll be true to my word (to my word)

and I will leave thee now to keep the vow

that I made to thee, my love. (oh my love)

I shall prove my worth and thus bring back mirth.

 

Refrain

A twelve months' mourn have I sworn to stay away from my love.

A twelve months' mourn hast thou sworn to stay away to keep thy vow.

 

So fare thee well, fare thee well (fare thee well)

oh my fairest dove, oh my knightly love,

though my heart, though my heart is so pained (is so pained)

to be so far away, to be so far from thee.

 

Refrain

A twelve months' mourn have I sworn to stay away from my love.

A twelve months' mourn hast thou sworn to stay away to keep thy vow.
