| Goodbye my friends! |
| the time has come to bid a fond farewell
|
| I hope someday to meet again, the truth to you I tell
|
| We’ll rise and leave before we fade like a flickering candle flame
|
| For all good things come to an end, and nothing stays the same
|
| Well the years have come and the years have gone yet it feels like yesterday
|
| When first we met eachother and sang the night away
|
| Through summer sun or stormy skies, sure we’ve laughed about it all
|
| Those nights with friends will be the memories I recall
|
| We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two
|
| But now our time is over
|
| We wish you all good health and joy
|
| May kind fate guide the Rover
|
| And thank you for the love you showed as we came rambling 'round
|
| You’ve followed us most faithfully and never let us down
|
| And when the road was hard to bear, you kept our spirits high
|
| And thinking all your loyal hearts, it’s hard to say goodbye
|
| We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two
|
| But now our time is over
|
| We wish you all good health and joy
|
| May kind fate guide the Rover
|
| We’ll lift a glass to them we knew no longer in this place
|
| For while we have a breath to take, we’ll not forget their face
|
| And here’s to all the merry nights when we would rant and roar
|
| The songs of Ireland we have shared, will live forever more
|
| We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two
|
| But now our time is over
|
| We wish you all good health and joy
|
| May kind fate guide the Rover
|
| We’ve shared a laugh and a song or two
|
| But now our time is over
|
| We wish you all good health and joy
|
| May kind fate guide the Rover
|
| Toor-a-loor-a-loora-loo
