For it’s goodbye my darling
Though it may be for years
For it’s ongoing away love for several years
And I would think of my darling forever
For as I’m going away love
And if I couldn’t maintain you for seven years more
Then I would think of my darling forever
For I’m worn out with fever cast down to death’s door
And if ever I live to see seven years more
Then I would think of my darling forever
Now the warden’s they stand with their whips in their hands
Just to see us fall all convicts go
And you hard hearted judges how cruel you be
To warden’s row warden’s row, warden’s row
Just to see us fall all convicts go
And if ever I live to see seven years more
Then I would think of my darling forever
