Farewell to Old Bedford Farewell to Old Bedford, I'm bound for to leave you Likewise those pretty girls I nevermore shall see; My portion is small but I truly confess it What little I have, it is all my own. Well might I have enjoyed it, all in pleasure If my cruel parents had left me alone; I will drown away sorrow in a full-flowing bumper I will drown away sorrow in a bottle of wine. Eight drams a bottle is, and I don't care for folly Now never let trouble come into your mind, I will drown her away in a full-flowing bumper I will drown away sorrow in a bottle of wine. Eight drams a bottle is, and I don't care for folly I play on my fiddle and dance all the time, My fingers are frozen, My bow it needs rosin My soundpost is down, and my bridge it won't stand.
