Farewell today
Travel on now
Be on your way


Go safely there
Never worry

Never care
Beyond this day


Farewell tonight
To all joy and to all delight
Go well and go peacefully

We can't keep your majesty
Be on your way


Make ready for the last King of May
Make a cardboard crown for him
Make your voices one

Praise a crazy mother's son
Who loved his life
Who loved his life


Farewell today
Travel on now

Be on your way
Can't bear the very thought
That we could keep your majesty

Be on your way

Make ready for the last King of May

Make a hole in the crowd for him
Raise your voices up
Lift your loving cups

To his long life
To his long life


Make ready for the last King of May
Make a hole in the sky for him
Raise your voices up

Drink your loving cups
To his long life
To his long life
