Here they are Bernard Farewell Manchester words John Oxenford. tune Rev Wm Felton (1713-1769) said to have been played when the young Pretender's army left Manchester in 1747 Source Sing Together 100 songs for unison singing arranged by William Appleby and Frederick Fowler NOT TOO SLOWLY Farewell, Manchester, noble town, farewell! Here with loyalty every breast shall swell. Wheresoe'er I roam, here, as in a home, Ever dear Lancashire, my heart shall dwell. Farewell, Manchester, sadly I depart, Tear-drops bodingly from their prison start. Though I toil anew, shadows to pursue, Shadows vain, thou'lt remain within my heart.
