Oh all the money that in my whole life I did spend 
Be it mine right or wrongfully 
I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends 
To tie up the time most forcefully 
But the bottles are done 
We’ve killed each one 
And the table’s full and overflowed 
And the corner sign 
Says it’s closing time 
So I’ll bid farewell and be down the road 

Oh ev’ry girl that ever I’ve touched 
I did not do it harmfully 
And ev’ry girl that ever I’ve hurt 
I did not do it knowin’ly 
But to remain as friends 
And make amends 
You need the time and stay behind 
And since my feet are now fast 
And point away from the past 
I’ll bid farewell and be down the line 

Oh ev’ry foe that ever I faced 
The cause was there before we came 
And ev’ry cause that ever I fought 
I fought it full without regret or shame 
But the dark does die 
As the curtain is drawn and somebody’s eyes 
Must meet the dawn 
And if I see the day 
I’d only have to stay 
So I’ll bid farewell in the night and be gone 

Oh, ev’ry thought that’s [bad word] a knot in my mind 
I might go insane if it couldn’t be [bad word] 
But it’s not to stand naked under unknowin’ eyes 
It’s for myself and my friends my stories are sung 
But the time ain’t tall, yet on time you depend 
And no word is possessed by no special friend 
And though the line is cut 
It ain’t quite the end 
I’ll just bid farewell till we meet again 

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time 
To disgrace, distract, and bother me 
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face 
And the dust [bad word] covers me 
But if the arrow is straight 
And the point is slick 
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick 
So I’ll make my stand 
And remain as I am 
And bid farewell and not give a [bad word]
