Before Departure

Farewell my friends
Farewell my dear ones
Farewell this world
Forgive my weakness
Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to evening parties
Remember me In the spring
To work for your bread
Soon you must leave
Remember your family
Work for your children
I don’t need much
And the older I become
I realize
My friendships
Lord carry me over
Any course of distance
Any cause of sorrow
My friends that last
Will dance one more time
With me I don’t need much
This I need
