Farewell Ole Troubadour
© Lon Conklin 2023

There’s a concert where stars are bright
For all the lovely angels tonight
Beyond the moon, over the blue
A stage door is open for you 

Storyteller, the dreamer kind
I wondered once if you could read my mind
You made me cry, made me smile
And put away my blues for a while

Chorus:
Farewell ole troubadour
Go where so many have gone
You played your final encore
So leave on the wings of a song
Farewell ole troubadour

On Carefree Highway you slipped away
I saw you in the early morning rain
Alberta bound in ‘85
We were on the summer side of life

Maybe one day we’ll meet again
I’m hoping I know where but who knows when
And I will keep your songs alive
Great music will always survive
So…

Chorus:
Farewell ole troubadour
Go where so many have gone
You played your final encore
So leave on the wings of a song
Farewell ole troubadour
Leave on the wings of a song
Farewell ole troubadour
