Lyrics Bride's Farewell - Steeleye Span

Bride's Farewell

So I bid you farewell and I beg you forgive me
With your love in my heart, you will always be with me
So I bid you farewell and I beg you forgive me
With your love in my heart, you will always be with me…
Farewell, dear mother, now I must leave you
Tears they pour down your tender cheek
Farewell, dear mother, oh, how I love you
Here in my bosom, tears I can speak
Farewell, dear father, now I must leave you
Never a stranger, always a man
Farewell, dear father, guardian father
Now I must leave you, that’s if I can…
So I bid you farewell and I beg you forgive me
With your love in my heart, you will always be with me
So I bid you farewell and I beg you forgive me
With your love in my heart, you will always be with me…
Farewell, dear sister, now I must leave you
All your affection, ever so deep
Farewell, dear sister, beautiful sister
One day we’re given, why you should weep
Farewell, dear brother, my gentle brother
Thou art more given, my words can tell
Father and mother, sister and brother
All my beloved, oh, fare thee well
So I bid you farewell and I beg you forgive me
With your love in my heart, you will always be with me
So I bid you farewell and I beg you forgive me
With your love in my heart, you will always be with me…
