Somebody please help me connect this old fragment to its verses.

Might by any chance you be thinking on "Farewell and adieue, to You Spanish Ladies?"...it's a far guess on a small fragment.

Thanks, Amos, but I think the rhyming word in "Chiquitita". (Wouldn't that stay with you?)

It's triple time like that but it's a closer cousin to "Cigarettes, Whiskey & Wild, Wild Women". Maybe the rhyme is "my chiquita".

Terry Gilkyson and the EASYRIDERS did this song on an old LP. 1950's I think the hit song for them was "MARYANN" (Down by the seaside sifting sand---Even little children love Maryann...) God knows why I saved these lyrics. The tune was pretty nice as I remember it.

Goodbye My Chicquita

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler, I'm a get rich quick scrambler,
I follow the laws that I make on my own,
Had to run to, take my gun to, south of the border,
But I ain't the kind that can live all alone.

Chorus)
Adios, farewell, goodbye my chicquita,
My love for you was never my crime,
Adios, farewell, goodbye my chicquita,
I leave you the love of a man in his prime.

Just a-riding and a-hiding, my time I was biding,
When I met a girl in an old village square,
With my love right beside me and with nothing to guide me,
Nothing but stars shining down on her hair.

Like a man I adored her---took her back to the border,
To make her my wife until death do us part,
But the posse was waitin' and the wild gun of Satan,
Shattered the love in my poor darling's heart.

Wow! Mui Muchas Gracias! I'd begun to think I'd imagined it. Thanks very much.

It is a good singable tune. I have been thinking of adding it to our song circle's book, so I came here looking for the lyrics. I have the original 78 up in a trunk somewhere, and it was indeed the B-side of Maryann (which is still a hit when I sing it at parties!). I'd be happy to tape it for anyone seriously interested.

Thanks to Art for saving me some typing, several months later! (See, some things on the net do have lasting value)!

This song--the same one posted by Art Thieme above--was recorded by the Kingston Trio under the title, "Adios, Farewell." A couple of Kingston Trio fan sites attribute it to Gilkyson.
