If you're waking call me early; call me early, my dear,
For I would see the sun rise upon the new year.
Good times and rare times, they all fade the same.
How gentle are the memories that carry me away.
Fare thee well, my friend,
We'll meet again
When the moon climbs over the trees.
Fare thee well, my friend,
We'll meet again
On the road just beyond the sea.
The old year behind us, it fades with the snow
And takes me to dream of the flowers to come.
You'll meet me in the meadow and hold me again
Where the sky soothes the ground with snow falling.
Fare thee well, my friend,
We'll meet again
When the moon climbs over the trees.
Fare thee well, my friend,
We'll meet again
On the road just beyond the sea.
When you're warm and asleep and the world is still,
Will you meet me in your dreams down by the stile,
(Unintelligible), my love, I'm going away,
For the boatman is calling; he must take me today.
Fare thee well, my friend,
We'll meet again
When the moon climbs over the trees.
Fare thee well, my friend,
We'll meet again
On the road just beyond the sea.
If you're waking call me early; call me early, my dear,
For I would see the sun rise upon the new year.
