Misc Traditional - Adieu to bon county

lt‘s a ^Dmgreat separation my ^Gfriends they have ^Fcaused me, By ^Dmhearing their spite that my ^Gfavour was won. lt‘s a ^Dmgreat separation, likewi^Gse a vex^Fation, And ^Dmthey shall be sorry for ^Gwhat they have done.

Eat, dr^Dmink and be jolly and^G care not for foll^Fy, And^Dm drowned away sorrow in a bo^Gttle of wine. Pass it^Dm to the boys in full-flo^Gwing bum^Fpers, And ^Dmplay on the fiddle to pa^Gss away time.

Adieu t^Dmo Bon County, I‘m bo^Gund for to leave y^Fou, And^Dm seek my heart‘s fortune in ^Gsome foreign land. Where b^Dmottles and glasses are m^Gy greate^Fst comfort, And ^Dmwhen we do meet we will ^Gjoin heart and hand.

Farewel^Dml to my friends and ^Gmy good old neighb^Fours, Lik^Dmewise to the girl I will nev^Ger see more. This wo^Dmrld it is wide and I‘ll ^Gspend it^F in pleasures, I ca^Dmre for no one that won‘t^G care for me.

My fort^Dmune is small and fre^Gely I own it, ^F Wha^Dmt little I have it is all of^G my own. I might^Dm have lived longer to en^Gjoy it w^Fith pleasure, lf m^Dmy poor friends had of le^Gt me alone.

I have ^Dmmoney a plenty to be^Gar my expenses, ^F And^Dm when it‘s all gone I‘ll cho^Gp wood and get more. When de^Dmath it comes on me I‘ll ^Gfreely g^Fo with it, Pay ^Dmup my last dues and go w^Gith it home.
