Fareweel Regality-Rachel Unthank And The Winterset

And now it's time to say fareweel And though I hope that we may meet again And all things may be reet again We've lived and spent the day And so we'll cry fareweel regality And cry fareweel to liberty To honest friends' civility To winter's frost and fire And there's naught that I can bid you But that peace and love gan with you Never mind wherever call the fates Away from Hexhamshire And what is time that flies so fleet But just a bird that flies on merry wings And lights us down in happy springs When winter's need is past And so we'll cry fareweel... Aye but the curlew sings her sang And winds her sorrows down the Rowley Burn And drear as winds the hunter's horn The call is all fareweel And so we'll cry fareweel... And as I set the mossy stones And do me bits of jobs and gap the dykes I hear the whispers down the sykes Fareweel they sigh, fareweel And so we'll cry fareweel... Do I remember? Do I dream? And did we rightly meet by Viewly Side? For all this and much more beside Has got me sore beguiled And so we'll cry fareweel... And on some golden autumn morn Or when July is hazing Dipton Slopes By Whitley Mill or Westburnhope We'll live and spend the day And so we'll cry fareweel... And so we'll cry fareweel...
