I'll post it here as it's only short.

The best of Friends must part

There is a tavern in the town in the town
And there my dear love sits him down sits him down
And drinks his wine mid laughter free
And never never thinks of me
Chorus:
Fare thee well for I must leave thee
Do not let this parting grieve thee
But remember that the best of friends must part must part must part
Adieu adieu kind friends adieu adieu adieu
i can no longer stay with you stay with you
I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree
And may the world go well with thee
2
He left me for a damsel fair a damsel fair
With rosy cheeks and golden golden hair
And now my love once true to me
As proved as false as false can be
3
Oh dig my grave both wide and deep wide and deep
Put tombstones at my head and feet head and feet
And on my breast carve a turtle dove
To signify I died of love.
