Farewell today
  Travel on now
  Be on your way
  Go safely there
  And never worry
  Never care
  Beyond this day
  
  Farewell tonight
  To all joy
  And to all delight
  Go on
  Go peacefully
  We can't keep your majesty
  Be on your way
  
  Make ready for the last king of May
  Make a cardboard crown for him
  And make your voices one
  Praise a crazy mother's son
  Who loved his life
  
  Farewell today
  Travel on now
  Be on your way
  Can't bear
  The very thought that we
  That we could keep your majesty
  Be on your way
  
  Make ready for the last king of May
  Make a hole in the ground for him
  Raise your voices up
  Drink your loving cup
  To his long life
  To his long life
  
  Make ready for the last king of May
  Make a hole in the sky for him
  Raise your voices up
  Lift your loving cup
  To his long life
  To his long life
  
  His long life
  And raise your voices up
  Lift your loving cup
  To his long life
  To his long life
  To his long life
  To his long life
