Hill's Student Songs.[1] The song was the college anthem of Trinity University College.{{Citation needed|reason=There are a number of Trinity Colleges - is the one linked to the correct one?|date=July 2018}} It was famously performed by Rudy Vallée as "The Drunkard Song", slightly changing the chorus. While recording the last verses of the song, Vallée started to laugh uncontrollably given the corny lyrics. He and his band recorded the song again without laughing, but Victor released both takes in 1934. He also performs the song in the film Sweet Music. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album 101 Gang Songs (1961). While the song is usually performed up-tempo, a balladic version appeared in "Ripper Street" third season episode "Ashes and Diamonds", arranged for Charlene McKenna as the character Rose Erskine on BBC One and Amazon Prime Instant Video. LyricsThere is a tavern in the town, in the town And there my true love sits him down, sits him down, And drinks his wine as merry as can be, And never, never thinks of me. Chorus: Fare thee well, for I must leave thee, Do not let this parting grieve thee, And remember that the best of friends Must part, must part. Adieu, adieu kind friends, adieu, adieu, adieu, I can no longer stay with you, stay with you, I'll hang my harp on the weeping willow tree, And may the world go well with thee. He left me for a damsel dark, damsel dark, Each Friday night they used to spark, used to spark, And now my love who once was true to me Takes this dark damsel on his knee. And now I see him nevermore, nevermore; He never knocks upon my door, on my door; Oh, woe is me; he pinned a little note, And these were all the words he wrote: Oh, dig my grave both wide and deep, wide and deep; Put tombstones at my head and feet, head and feet And on my breast you may carve a turtle dove, To signify I died of love.[2][3] Note: The Hill version has "And on my breast carve a turtle dove" The penultimate verse does not appear in this oldest published version.
