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
