Say farewell, and go!

Look in my face, dear,

Once, as used to be;

Hold out you hand, dear,

Have no fear of me!

Shed no tears, mine will not start;

Thus, like friends, old loves should part.

O my Mary, my lost Mary,

Say farewell, and go.

Never to meet more

While day follow day;

Never to kiss more

Till our lips are clay.

Angry hearts grieve loud awhile,

Broken hearts are dumb or smile.

O my Mary, my lost Mary,

Say farewell, and go.
