Fare Thee Well, My Pretty Maid lyrics

Fare thee well, my pretty maid, I'm getting tired of you Things ain't what they used to be, you're not the girl I knew I'm sick and tired of begging you To put a smile back in your eyes So, goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry Fare thee well, my pretty maid, the time has come to part I can't even find a way to make another start Please, forgive me, when I say it almost breaks my heart But, goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry Many are the nights I kneeled and prayed you changed, dear Many are days I lived to cry a shameless tear Fare thee well, my pretty maid, what a foolish boy I've been You made me love you like a slave You made yourself a queen I hope you find another fool To set you up on high Oh, goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry Goodbye, goodbye, I hope that you don't cry
