Thread Name: Farewell songs for the last round
Subject: Lyr Add: THERE'S NEVER A GOOD TIME FOR LEAVING
The ch is pronounced the same as in Loch, or the double L in Welsh Llangollen, or similar to the Kh as in the Arabic Khalid. English speaking folks only use the sound when coughing up phlegm.

There was a Mudcat Radio episode where we each sang a goodbye song and I remember that Bill Sables had a really good one. If he doesn't join this thread soon I'll send him a PM.

Here's one of mine


There's Never a Good Time for Leaving

There's never a good time for leaving
There's no good time for goodbye
There's never a good time for leaving
it always makes somebody cry
There's never a good time for leaving

There's never a good time for going
Darling say you won't go
There's never a good time for going
I'll love you for ever I know
There's never a good time for going

Darling don't leave me
Oh tell me you'll stay
stay here beside me
for just one more day
There's never a good time for leaving

There's never a good time for leaving
There's no good time for goodbye
There's never a good time for leaving
it always makes somebody cry
There's never a good time for leaving
