I hate to see you go
You're goin' up the loggin' road
Bless my soul, it's starting to snow
I hate to see you go
You're goin' up the loggin' road
You're moving out so slow
Swing your partner do-si-do
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
Don't forget your hat, my love
I just won't have you goin' out
Looking like that, my love
Look out for the bears
There's going to be a lot of strangeness there
And whatever you do don't go to sleep
Don't lie down don't do the final thing
Oh, and if I come looking for you
Up the loggin' road
And if I find you fallen down should I fall?
Should I kneel? Should I cover you?
Should I keep you from the cold?
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
What's that?
You say you forgot the sweet familiar?
Tears are a-clinking?
Yeah, it's getting pretty cold
And as you move up into the forest
As you move between the thin the trees
You'll be in good hands
You can do whatever you please
Anything you say, anything you do
Anything you say, anything you do
Goodbye goodbye goodbye
