Look on and Cry Lyrics

My dearest friend it's fare you well
You slighted me but I wish you well
And never no more your face I'll see
I wouldn't serve you like you served me

You caused me to weep you caused me to mourn
And satisfied I never could be
To save my cheeks and tears for thee
Oh can't you shed one tear for me?

My dearest friend my harmless dove
I hope to meet you in the world above
And when we meet in peace we'll be
My dearest friend remember me

Now when I'm dead and laid to rest
Remember the one that loves you best
And when you pass by where I lie
Look on my grave look on and cry

And now we've laid him down to rest
Beside the one that loved him best
And as you pass by where he lies
You may sing this song look on and cry

Remember friends as you pass by
As you all are so once was I
As I am here to be
So get prepared and follow me
