Don't want no tears shed for me when I'm gone,nDon't want nobody to sing no melancholy song,nDon't want your partin' words to become my eulogy ---nJust have a ragtime band to play when you say goodbye to me.nnSo keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high,nI'm pleased to see you're here to say Farewell and not Goodbye.nSo keep that whiskey flowin', boys and raise your glasses highnAnd Damn the man that dares to let my farewell party die.nnDon't want no organ music bringin' people down,nDon't want no long-faced mourners always hangin' 'round,nDon't want no candles, ah, but let the flowers stay ---nGirls can wear them in their hair when they see me on my way.nnRoll the carpet back, my boys, and let the dancin' start,nSing all the good old songs and don't forget my part.nInvite all the girls I've known and make sure they have fun ---nHug and kiss 'em all for me like you know I would have done.nnSo keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high,nI'm pleased to see you're here to say Farewell and not Goodbye.nSo keep that whiskey flowin', boys and raise your glasses highnAnd Damn the man that dares to let my farewell party die.nnSo keep that whiskey flowin', boys, and raise your glasses high,nI'm pleased to see you're here to say Farewell and not Goodbye.nSo keep that whiskey flowin', boys and raise your glasses highnAnd Damn the man that dares to let my farewell party die.
