Goodbye

Goodbye, Jack. Goodbye, Terry. Give our respects to your Mam and Dad. Write soon. Oh, we’ll miss you, boys.

Goodbye, Auntie Rose. Goodbye, Uncle Jack.

Bye, Terry. See you in London one day. Say good-bye, Louis. Bye-bye. Say bye-bye.

Bye, Elsie. Bye Louis.

Goodbye boys. Look after your - you be -

Oh, now don’t cry, Jack, for God’s sake. You’ll start me off.

Just remember what I said, boys. Two things… don’t ever forget: it’s not fair and don’t be late.

All stations to London. All aboard!

Just remember these two things, boys:

It’s not fair, and don’t be late.

Plenty of time for living your life;

That hole in the ground can wait.

Ust remember, you’ll remember

When you’re old and grey -

How you found your other world,

When you were far away.

Just like you, we were sad to say

Goodbye to the home we loved.

Just like us, you were soon to find

Good friends beside you

To help and guide you.

Just remember, we’ll remember

How we shared those years;

Days of gladness, days of sadness,

Laughter, and joy, and tears.

Three sons I had,

All of them gone now.

One won’t return,

But two live on now.

They helped us make

A new beginning;

And all my sons

Will go on singing.

You’ve been so kind

We’ve had such a good time

You’ve been so very welcoming

We won’t forget

Our time here you bet

Thank you so much for everything

Goodbye,farewell.

The time has come for you to go.

Goodbye, good luck.

But now you have to dash.

So long, tara.

We’ll see you later cheerio

Goodbye, farewell.

You’ve got a train to catch

The world will be free in time

And the church bells will peal once more;

The bluebirds will hear their chime

And come winging back home to the shore.

Home again...home again...

Friendly bells will ring again,

Bringing the sounds of joy;

Fresh new hope will spring again

For every little girl and boy.

Ring out, sweet bells, loud and clear,

Bless this land we hold so dear.

Time like an ever-rolling stream

Bears all its sons away;

They fly forgotten - -

As a dream dies at the opening day…
