There Is A Tavern In The Town

There Is a Tavern In the Town
2937

There is a tavern in the town, in the town
And there my dear love sita him down, down, sits him
And drinks his wine ‘mid laughter free
And never, never thinks of me

Chorus-
Fare thee well, for I must leave thee
Do not let the parting grieve thee
And remember that the best of friends must part must part:
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu
I can no longer stay with you, stay with you
I’ll hang my harp on a weeping willow tree,
And may the world go well with thee

He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark,
Each Friday night they used to spark, used to apark
And now my love, once true to me,
Takes that dark damsel on his knee

Oh! dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep,
Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet,
And on my breast carve a turtle dove
To signify I died of luve
