American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Good-Bye, My Lover, Good-Bye. Written and suns by Billy Snow. 
There goes the flatboat down the river, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye; All loaded down with wenches and niggers, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye; Some were dancing and some were singing, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye; With the tambourine and banjo ringing, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye. 
Chorus. Good-bye, my lover, good-bye, Good-bye, my lover, good-bve; We'll take this drink And we'll drink no more, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye. 
I went right up on top of a steeple, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye; To look right down on the colored people, Good-bye. my lover, good-bye; Some was black and some was blacker, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye; And some was the color of a chew tobacco, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye.-Chorus. 
Some go to church to talk and laugh, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye; They think they know all-and they don't know halfGood-bye, my lover, good-bye; I shot old Satan with the gospel gun, Good-bye. my lover, good-bye; And he turned on his heel and took to run, Good-bye, my lover, good-bye.-Chorus.
