[Verse 1]
My dearest friend, it's fare you well
You slighted me but I wished you well
If never no more your face I'll see
I wouldn't serve you like you served me

[Verse 2]
You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn
And satisfied I never could be
To save my cheeks and tears for thee
Oh can't you shed one tear for me?

[Verse 3]
My dearest friend, my harmless dove
I hope to meet you in the world above
And when we meet, in peace we'll be
My dearest friend remember me

[Verse 4]
Now when I'm dead and laid to rest
Remember the one that loved you best
And when you pass by where I lie
Look on my grave, look on and cry

[Verse 5]
And now we've laid her down to rest
Beside the one that loved her best
And as you pass by where she lies
You'll sing this song, look on and cry
[Verse 6]
Remember friends, as you pass by
As you are, so once was I
As I am here to be
So get prepared and follow me
So get prepared and follow me
