Sad -ness just makes me sigh,

I've come to say good -bye,

Al -tho' I go,

I've got those fare -well blues.

Those fare -well blues make me yearn,

That part -ing kiss seems to burn.

Fare -well, dear -ie,

Some -day I will re -turn.

Dream -ing of you is sweet,

Some -day a -gain we'll meet.

My fears for years

Were those sad fare -well blues.
