There is a tavern in the town,
 That's where my true love sits her down,
 And drinks her wine 'mid laughter free,
 And never, never thinks of me.
 
 Chorus:
 Adieu, adieu, kind friends adieu,
 We can no longer stay with you,
 We must hang our harps on a weeping willow tree,
 And may the world go well with thee.
 
 Fare thee well, for we must leave you,
 Do not let our parting grieve you,
 For remember that the best of friends
 Must part, part, part
 So until another meeting
 When we'll wave a friendly greeting
 We will keep your memory in our hearts.

 Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep
 With tombstones at my head and feet
 And above my head you can carve a turtle dove
 To signify I died of love.
 
 Chorus:
 Adieu, adieu, kind friends adieu,
 We can no longer stay with you,
 We must hang our harps on a weeping willow tree,
 And may the world go well with thee.
 
 Fare thee well, for we must leave you,
 Do not let our parting grieve you,
 For remember that the best of friends
 Must part, part, part
 So until another meeting
 When we'll wave a friendly greeting
 We will keep your memory in our hearts.
