Intro

Farewell, farewell to you who would hear

 You lonely travellers all

 The cold north wind will blow again

 The winding road does call

 And will you never return to see

 Your bruised and beaten sons?

 "Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were

 For they loath me, every one"

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"

Verse 1
