FARE THEE WELL
Then fa.re thee well, my own dear love,
This w~rld has now for us;
N~ greater grief, n~ pain ab~ve,
The pain of :parting thvs, dea,r love!
The pain ~f parting t hus!
Had we but known, since first we met,
S~me few short h~urs ~f bliss;
We might, in numbering them forget,
The deep, deep pain ~f this dear love!
The deep, deep pain of this!
But
One
But
And
And
no, alas, we have never seen,
glimpse ~f pleasured ray;
still there oame some cl~ud between,
chased i t all away, dear love!
chased i t a.ll a.way.
Yet even could those sad moments last,
Fe.r dearer to my heart;
Wr•ere hours of grief, t~gether past,
Than years of mirth apart dear love!
Than years of mirth apart!
Farewe 11- -our hope was b~rn in fears,
And nt1
rsed mid vain regrets!
Like winter suns, it rose in tears,
Like them in tears it sets, dear love!
Like them in tears it sets!

The lonsome Dove.
Oh dont you see that lonsome dove.
That flys from pine to pine.
Its morning for its own true love.
And why not mourn for mine my true love?
And why not mourn for mine?
Do you remember the day that you gave me your heart?
And vowed to me that if ever you marrid I should be your girl.
But now you have broken all those vows just marry who you please,
While this pore aching heart most dead.
You are living at your ease my love.
You are living at your ease.
You slighted me once you slighted me twice.
You will never slight me any more.
Though you slighted me for another girl.
and now you may take her and go my love.
Oh darling darling do hush up.
I hate to here you cry.
For the best of friends they have to part.
And so do you and I my love and so do you and I.
Look up look down this lonsome road.
Hang down your head and cry.
Ill fly to the east Ill fly to the west.
Ill will fly in the arms of the one I love best.

The Lonsome Dove.
Oh dont you see that lonsome dove.
That flys from pine to pine.
Its morning for its own true love.
And why not mourn for mine my true love?
And why not mourn for mine?
Do you remember the day that you gave me your heart?
And vowed to me that if ever you marrid I should be your girl.
But now you have broken all those vows just marry who you please,
While this pore aching heart most dead.
You are living at your ease my love.
You are living at your ease.
You slighted me once you slighted me twice.
You will never slight me any more.
Though you slighted me for another girl.
and now you may take her and go my love.
Oh darling darling do hush up.
I hate to here you cry.
For the best of friends they have to part.
And so do you and I my love and so do you and I.
Look up look down this lonsomeroad.
Hang down your head and cry.
Ill fly to the east Ill fly to the west.
Ill will fly in the arms of the one I lovebest.

Collected by John Bennett: 37 Legare St., Charleston, So.Ca. 1893-1922:
In The Pines
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
I shiver when the cold wind blows.
I am going away for a year and a day
On the longerest road that I knows.
Oh, don’t you see yon lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine?
If a dove can mourn for her true love
Why can’t I mourn for mine?
Refrain: In the pines, etc.
Oh, don’t you see yonder crow flying high,
With quills as black as night?
I will never be false to you
Until that crow turns white.
He taken the Bible into his hands
And swore by black and white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright day shall turn to night,
Oh, my lover, tell me true,
Where did you stay last night?
The wind blew cold on old Bald Mountain,
And the stars were a-shining bright.
I would that your dear breast were made out of glass
That I might read you through.
Then I moughten’t fear a lying tongue
But know that your heart were true.
Come in, come in, my old true love,
Come set you down by me.
It has been more than a year and a day
Since I spoken a word with thee.
I can’t come in, and I can’t sit down,
For I hain’t got a moment of time.
Since you are engaged with another true love
Your heart no longer is mine.
You know what you told me, love,
And you know what you said.
You know what you promised me,
And you know what you did.
I’ll never believe what another man says
Let his eyes be blue or brown,
Unless he be up on the gallows-tree
Saying ‘Love, I’d much rather come down!’
Oh, when your heart were mine, true love,
And my head lay on your breast,
You could make me believe by the falling of your arm
That the sun rose up in the west.
There’s many a bright star shall jingle in the west,
And many a leaf shall fall below,
And there’s many a damn shall fall upon a man
For serving a poor girl so!
There’s many a girl goes gay about
To hear the small birds sing,
Who, before she’s done shall set alone
And cry for a wedding-ring .
I cried, last night, when I comed home,
I cried the night before.
I’ll cry, to-night, till my eyes pump sand,
And then I’ll cry no more!
Close with the refrain.

I,HAVE NO MOTHER NOW
I hear the low winds sweeting
Through every bush and tree,
Where my dear mother's sleeping
Away from home and me.
Chorus:
Tears from my eyes are flowing
And sorrow shades my brow,
Cold in the grove she's sleeping,
I have no mother now.
I see the pale moon shining
On mother's white tomb stone,
The rose bush round it twining,
It's just like me alone.
It's just like me a-weeping,
Cold dewdrops damp my brown,
It's just like me a-weeping,
I have no mother now.
My life is so lonely,
My heart is troubled sore,
Her dearest presence, only,
Could make me weep no more.
She has gone from me to heaven,
Deep sorrow shades my brow,
The sacred tie is broken,
I have no mother now.
Sad was the hour of parting,
She said in words so sweet,
My loved one I'm dying
We must in heaven meet.
0 yes, I'll meet you Mother,
On that eternal shore
And there we'll live together,
Where parting is no more.
Come now, ye orphan children,
Who sorrow here below,
And join me in a promise,
That you'll to glory go.
Then when our labor's ended
And time shall be no more,
We'll go and live with mother,
Where parting is no more.

I Have No Mother Now
I hear the low winds sweeting
Through every brush and tree,
Where my dear mother's sleeping
Away from home and me.
Chorus.
Tears from my eyes are flowing,
And sorrow shades my brow,
Cold in the grove she's sleeping
I have no mother now.
I see the pale moon shining
On mother's white tomb stone,
The rose bush round it twining,
It's just like me alone.
Chorus
It's just like me a-weeping
Cold dew-drops damp my brow,
Its' just like me a-weeping,
I have no mother now.
My life is so lonely,
My heart is troubled sore,
Her dearest presence, only,
Could make me weep no more.
Chorus
She has gone from me to heaven,
Deep sorrow shades my brown,
The sacred tie is broken,
I have no mother now.
Sad was the hour of parting
She said in words so sweet,
My loved one I'm dying
We must in heaven meet.
Chorus.
O yes, I'll meet you Mother,
On that eternal shore
And there we'll live together,
Where parting is no more.
Come now, ye orphan children,
Who sorrow here below,
And join me in a promise,
That you'll to glory go.
Chorus
Then when our labor's ended
And time shall be no more,
We'll go and live with mother
Where parting is no more.
I Have an Aged Mother
I Have No Mother Now

“The Hamlet Wreck”
1
“See the women and children going to the train,
Fare-you-well, my husband, if I never see you again,
The engineer turned his head
When he saw so many were dead,
So many have lost their lives.
Chorus
Isn’t Ains it sad, isn’t ains it sad?
Ex/cur/si/on left Durham, going to Charlotte, North Carolina,
Isn’t it sad, isn’t it said?
So many have lost their lives.
2
Some of us have mothers a standing at the train,
Say Fare-well-well, my daughter, I may never see you again,
And the train began to fly
And some didn’t come back alive,
So many have lost their lives.
[illegible] The fireman said to the engineer,
“We are something late,
We don’t want to meet up with the local freight,”
The local was on the line
And theye could not get there on time ,
So many have lost their lives.
3 omit these 2 stanzas
When the news got to Durham, some said it was a lie,
But there was some in the hospital almost ready to die,
And their poor old mothers, you know,
They were running from door to door,
So many have lost their lives.
Now colored people I will tell you and tell you to your face,
The train that left Durham, was loaded with our race,
And some did not think of dying
When they rode on down the line,
So many have lost their lives.
4
They put the dead in their coffins and sent them back to town,
And then they were taken to the burying ground,
You could hear the coffin sound
When they let those bodies down,
So many have lost their lives.”
“(by Franklin Williams and William Firkins)”
Note:This is the form of the song as it appears in a broadside published
by the Reform Publishing Company, an African-American printer in Durham.
The song was likely not composed by Williams and Firkins,
who ran operations in the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Co’s factory in
Durham.
