Fare Thee Well, Cisco |
| While walkin' through the railroad yard |
| On a cold and a rainy night |
| I saw a string of old boxcars |
| As it pulled out of sight |
| I heard the whistle blowin' |
| Just as sad as anything |
| And it made me think of Cisco |
| And the songs he used to sing |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Here for just a while |
| Gone a many a mile |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| He walked down every highway |
| In this great and mighty land |
| He sang the songs of what he saw |
| He sang for every man |
| He had no truck with nonsense |
| He sang 'em straight and plain |
| He got his greatest music |
| From the whistle of a train |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Here for just a while |
| Gone a many a mile |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Well, I dreamed that me and Cisco |
| We were standin' in some town |
| The good clean air was in our lungs |
| And the sun was a-shining down |
| He said, «This land has lots of room |
| It stretches far and wide |
| There’s a lonesome freight at six-o-eight |
| Let’s grab that train and ride» |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Here for just a while |
| Gone a many a mile |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Well, he rambled 'round with Woody |
| Just to see what he could see |
| And when the fascist tide was high |
| He rambled out to sea |
| And everywhere he rambled |
| He made friends of many men |
| And Cisco’s friends can tell us |
| We won’t see his kind again |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Here for just a while |
| Gone a many a mile |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee well |
| Fare thee well, Cisco, fare thee wel |
