The Tavern Song

[Verse 1]
There is a tavern in the town
That's where my true love sits her down
And drinks her wine 'mid laughter free
And never, never thinks of me

[Verse 2]
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu
We can no longer stay with you
We must hang our harps on a weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

[Chorus]
Fare thee well, for we must leave you
Do not let our parting grieve you
For remember that the best of friends
Must part, must part
So until another meeting
When we'll wave a friendly greeting
We will always keep your memory in our hearts

[Verse 3]
Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep
Put tombstones at my head and feet
And above my head you can carve a turtle dove
To signify I died of love

[Verse 4]
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu
We can no longer stay with you
We must hang our harps on a weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee

[Chorus]
Fare thee well, for we must leave you
Do not let our parting grieve you
For remember that the best of friends
Must part, must part
So until another meeting
When we'll wave a friendly greeting
We will always keep your memory in our hearts
