Subject: RE: Lyr/Tune Add: Fare Thee Well My Dearest Dear
I'm partial to the version by Phil Cooper, from Written in Our Eyes. As soon as I heard his rendition, I wanted to learn the song.

I sing (unaccompanied) a longer version, which gives more of the initial dialog (some good bits adapted from the rather lengthy broadside), and close with an echo of the first verse that flips the roles.
