Well, my hero Bill D is not going to be very happy with me for posting this prime example of 60's sappy pop-folk, but I can't help myself. I kinda like it.

LAST FAREWELL
(Randy Sparks)
(Recorded by the New Christy Minstrels in 1963)
tune: "Waly, Waly"

I'm goin' away at eventide
Across the wild and the rollin' sea
I bid you stay, stay here by my side,
And share a last farewell with me.

Through snow-clad mountains, proud and tall
Or a thousand miles 'cross the burning sand
Our last farewell, then will I recall,
When I'm alone in a far-off land.

(imitation harmonica solo and clever key change)

A wandrin' song is all I know
Yet I love you more, more than words can tell
I hear that call, and I'm bound to roam,
I leave you now, with a last farewell
I leave you now, with a last farewell
