KAZOO INTRO

When you hear me sing this song, babe, I ain't gonna be here long

Fare thee, high brown, fare thee

A-when you hear me sing this song, babe, I ain't gonna be here long

Fare thee, honey, fare thee

I'm gonna see you in the Spring, honey, when the birds begin to sing

Fare thee, high brown, fare thee

I'm gonna see you in the Fall, when you won't have no man at all

Fare thee, honey, fare thee

KAZOO SOLO

I left her standing on the hill, crying, "Daddy, I love you still."

Fare thee, high brown, fare thee

I left her standing on the hill, crying, "Daddy, I love you still."

Fare thee, honey, fare thee

I'm gonna see you, babe, way late, when your love have turned to hate

Fare thee, high brown, fare thee

I'm gonna see you, babe, way late, when your love have turned to hate

Fare thee, honey, fare thee

KAZOO SOLO
