Adieu, my friemds adieu, adieu
I can no longer stay with you.
I will hang my harp on the weepign willow tree
And may the world go well with thee!
Faretheewelll, for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee,
And remember that the best of friends must part!
I will hang my harp
On the weeping willow tree,
And may the world go well with thee!

There will be a quiz, oh, yes a quiz! (What, a quiz?)
As to lyrics here both hers and his (her or his!)
You will all be asked to recite each line intact!
And may your days go clicky-clack!

Farethewell, and be not grieving
On a choochoo I am leaving
I can here the bold conductor call "Aboard! All Aboard!"

Farewell, as I move down the line (Long line!)
And watch the crossings mark the time (Mark the time!)
I will spend my days rolling down the railroad track,
And may your days go clicky-clack!
