I learned this song from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. It was the first waltz tune I ever heard played on the five-string banjo. George can be heard performing this piece live on his 2000 album "Last Possum Up the Tree."
Farewell my Bonnie Blues Eyes farewell my Little Bonnie don't cry
For if you cry you'll spoil those blue eyes,
Farewell my Bonnie Blues Eyes.
Farewell my Bonnie Blue Eyes (x2)
My trunk's all packed I ain't coming back,
Farewell my Bonnie Blues Eyes.
Farewell my Bonnie Blue Eyes (x2)
I'm going to the West to the girl I love best,
Farewell my Bonnie Blue Eyes.
Farewell my Bonnie Blue Eyes (x2)
I'll see you again but the good Lord knows when,
Farewell my Bonnie Blue Eyes.
