A SCOTS FAIRWELL

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no tears in a gloom filled room

Why cry for a soul set free

Miss me a little, but not too long

Ant not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that we once shared

Miss me, but let me go

For this is a journey we all must take

And each one must go alone

It is all part of nature's road

A step on the road to home

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds

Miss me, But let me go.
