ADIEU

Agoo! Agoo! Give way
Another one is on its way
He has finally come home
He has forty days to roam
Heaven the destination may be
We do not know and cannot see

The undertaker has yet another smile
The corpse under earth's a mile
His mourners cry at the last sight
His enemies rejoice the fading of the light

This is our way
Of saying Adieu
Even as you go away
We hope it is to Dieu

Death's Price is hard to pay
You were used to being gay
Before the sun you made hay
We'll be happy again on that Day
Agoo!Agoo! Give way
Another one is on its way
