Lyrics:

Farewell today
Travel on now
Be on your way
Go safely there
And never worry
Never care
Beyond this day

Farewell tonight
To all joy and to all delight
Go well and go peacefully
We can't keep your majesty
Be on your way

Make ready for the last King of May
Make a cardboard crown for him
And make your voices one
Praise a crazy mother's son who loved his life

Farewell today
Travel on now
Be on your way
Can't bear the very thought
That we could keep your majesty
Be on your way

Make ready for the last King of May
Make a hole in the crowd for him
Raise your voices up
Drink your loving cup to his long life
To his long life

Make ready for the last King of May
Make a hole in the sky for him
And raise your voices up
Lift your loving cup to his long life
His long life

And raise your voices up
Lift your loving cup to his long life
To his long life
His long life
His long life
To his long life
