Fare The Well My Pretty Maid

Fare the 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 eyes
So goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry

Fare the 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, it almost breaks heart
But goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry

Many are the nights I kneeled and prayed you change, dear
Many are days I lived to cry a shameless tear

Fare the 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 find another fool
To set you up in high
Oh, goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry
Goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you dont cry
