Fare Thee Well Sweet Mally

That winter, sweet Mally, as cold as can blow
Across the Minch Moor laid a mantle of snow
I think of you often wherever I go
Fare the well sweet Mally

Now green grows the bracken and the leaves on the tree
And the clean April air bears the smell of the sea
And the trees in their blossom remind you to me
Fare the well sweet Mally

There's many wise words on the parting of friends
But for you and for me there was never an end
So forever and on until we meet again
Fare the well sweet Mally

As kind as your eyes were so soft and so blue
As warm as your heart was so soft and so true
There is always a strength in remembering of you
Fare the well sweet Mally

And I've all these days of a life to fulfill
And in setting my feet to the steep of the hill
Beyond death's cruel severance I think of you still
Fare the well sweet Mally
