A Fond Farewell
I bid you all a fond farewell
With the ringing of a bell
Goodbye I need to flee
Please don't cry over me
I go to sail the sea
As happy as can be
I joined the navy as you know
Where civilians may not go
I shall miss you all
Till next summer or next fall
When for a time I shall come to talk
Till on my door you come to knock
I wave a weary hand
Up into the land
I shall miss it now I know
But alas I must now go
Someday I shall return
The flames in my heart still burn
Should you see me then
Don't lock me in a pen
My time on land is short
Like living in a fort
I miss my friends that's true
But this goodbye should do
