Farewell Party Lyrics by Glenn Yarbrough

We Survived the Madness

0

[Verse 1]
Don't want no tears shed for me when I'm gone
Don't want to hear you sing a melancholy song
Don't let your partin' words become a eulogy
Just have a ragtime band to play when you say goodbye to me
[Chorus]
And keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high
I'm pleased to see you're here to say "Farewell" and not "Goodbye"
Keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high
Damn the man that dares to let my farewell party die
[Verse 2]
Don't want no organ music bringin' people down
Don't want no long-faced mourners always hangin' 'round
Don't want no candles, but let the flowers stay
The girls can wear them in their hair just to see me on my way
[Chorus]
And keep the whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high
I'm pleased to see you're here to say "Farewell", not "Goodbye"
Keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high
Damn the man that dares to let my farewell party die
[Verse 3]
Roll the carpet back, boys, and let the dancin' start
Sing the good old songs but don't forget my part
Invite all the girls I know and make sure they have fun
Hug and kiss 'em all alike like I damn sure would have done
[Chorus]
Yeah, keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high
I'm pleased to see you're here to say "Farewell" and not "Goodbye"
Keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high
Damn the man that dares to let my farewell party die
