Departing Song Lyrics - Rankin Family

Fare thee well love 

My one true one 

Fare thee well love 

My own true one 

Wind is blowing through the trees 

Ships are sailing out to sea 

And the sun is slowly setting on you and me 

So drink up my friend 

This be the departing song 

And is matters not who's right 

which of us is wrong 

We may meet again beneath the shady pines 

With the warm breeze blowing through the grass 

In the summertime 

Oh fare thee well love 

I must be movin on 

It's just as well 

the time we had is gone 

For the West coast I'll be bound 

and there's no need in hangin around 

And I long to see my feet 

back on the ground 

So drink up my friends 

this be the departing song 

And it matters not who's right 

which of us is wrong 

Drink up my friend 

cause this be the departing song 

and it matters not who's right 

which of us is wrong 

Cause this be the departing song
