Verse 1:
       DmDm                  G+G                 FF
lt‘s a great separation my friends they have caused me,
   DmDm                          G+G
By hearing their spite that my favour was won.
       DmDm                      G+G       FF
lt‘s a great separation, likewise a vexation,
    DmDm                      G+G
And they shall be sorry for what they have done.


Verse 2:
       DmDm                  G+G                 FF
Eat, drink and be jolly and care not for folly,
   DmDm                          G+G
And drowned away sorrow in a bottle of wine.
       DmDm                      G+G       FF
Pass it to the boys in full-flowing bumpers,
    DmDm                      G+G
And play on the fiddle to pass away time.

       DmDm                  G+G                 FF
Adieu to Bon County, I‘m bound for to leave you,
   DmDm                          G+G
And seek my heart‘s fortune in some foreign land.
       DmDm                      G+G       FF
Where bottles and glasses are my greatest comfort,
    DmDm                      G+G
And when we do meet we will join heart and hand.

Farewell to my friends and my good old neighbours,
   DmDm                          G+G
Likewise to the girl I will never see more.
       DmDm                      G+G       FF
This world it is wide and I‘ll spend it in pleasures,

I care for no one that won‘t care for me.

My fortune is small and freely I own it,
   DmDm                          G+G
What little I have it is all of my own.
       DmDm                      G+G       FF
I might have lived longer to enjoy it with pleasure,
    DmDm                      G+G
lf my poor friends had of let me alone.

I have money a plenty to bear my expenses,
   DmDm                          G+G
And when it‘s all gone I‘ll chop wood and get more.
       DmDm                      G+G       FF
When death it comes on me I‘ll freely go with it,
    DmDm                      G+G
