You told me well at fall
You didn't need me round at all
So fare thee, honey, fare thee well
Now I'm packin' up my grip
Made up my mind to take a trip
Woah, fare the, honey, fare thee well
You told me right to my face
That I could eas'ly be replaced
Woah fare thee, honey, fare thee well
No use to take it back
`Cause I've got my suitcase packed
It's fare thee, honey, fare thee well
You told me when last spring
When the birds began to sing
It was fare thee, honey, fare thee well
Time and time again
You'd look at me and grin
With a fare thee, honey, fare thee well
You chase around all over town
Every night you lied to me
You made me burn but now it's my turn
You have said your last farewell to me
Well I guess by now you've learned
That the little worm has turned
Woah, fare thee, woah, fare thee.
Honey, fare thee well.
