I thought it probably was the version Jon Harvison does Steve, As far as I was able to get the words from the CD (and begging forgiveness for not being able to accent cure, Emile etc..)

Adieu Emile, my much loved friend
We've known each other since we were nine or ten
Together we climbed hills and trees,
Learned of love and A B C
Skimmed our hearts and skimmed our knees
Adieu Emile, it's hard to die
When the breath of spring is in the sky
I leave in peace, my heart at ease
You were my finest friend in life, please take care of my wife

One due to laugh, one due to dance
To be crazy and enjoy
To dance round and round
When they put me in the ground

Adieu Cure, please pray for me,
I was the lost sheep of your family
We argued over right and wrong
A different tune, a different song,
But somehow we got along
Adieu Cure it's hard to die
When the breath of spring is in the sky
I leve in peace my soul at ease
You were her confidant in life, I know you'll care for my wife

One due to laugh . . . .

Adieu Antoine, you betrayed my trust
Antoine our friendship turned to rust
'Cos I'm so eager to die
You, you're still so fun of life
In the arms of my wife
Adieu Antoine it's hard to die
When the breath of spring is in the sky
I leave in peace, my soul at ease
Your deceit cut like a knife, but please take care of my wife

One due to laugh . . . .

Adieu, Adieu my much-loved wife
You know I loved you all my life
But now I'm catching my last train
We take whatever chance we can
I must go but you remain
Adieu my wife it's hard to die
When the breath of spring is in the sky
I leave in peace, my soul at ease
When at last my eyes are closed, please take care of my soul

One due to laugh . . .
