My dearest friend it's fare you well?
You slighted me but I wish you well
?And never no more your face I'll see?
I wouldn't serve you like you served me
You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn?
And satisfied I never could be?
To save my cheeks and tears for thee?
Oh can't you shed one tear for me?
My dearest friend my harmless dove
?I hope to meet you in the world above?
And when we meet in peace we'll be
?My dearest friend remember me
Now when I'm dead and laid to res
t?Remember the one that loves you best
?And when you pass by where I lie?
Look on my grave look on and cry
And now we've laid him down to rest?
Beside the one that loved him best?
And as you pass by where he lies
?You may sing this song look on and cry
Remember friends as you pass by
?As you all are so once was I?
As I am here to be?
So get prepared and follow me
