"The Last Goodbye" - Uncle Earl

Lyrics -
Ted Pitney & Uncle Earl.

Vocals - Abigail Washburn

Lock up the door, throw away the key
You'll get no more love from me
Dont you know my name
wont always be the same
La dee day

Behind the door, beneath your feet
stepping on a heart that beats
I'm nearly 21,
my race has only just begun

Hang your head and cry,
you just said your last goodbye, babe

Cue up the band that plays in tune
My wedding day is coming soon
Do you ever wish you'd stayed
with the promise that you made
La dee day

Tell me dear will it trouble your mind
When summers come and the rivers dry
And far away youll hear
a band thats playing loud and clear

Hang your head and cry,
you just said your last goodbye, babe

Let it rain, let it pour
Don't know what I'm waiting for
But underneath my bed
are the words that you once said,

Hey babe, mmmm,
lets marry in the summertime

Lock up the door, throw away the key
You'll get no more love from me
When the band is playing on,
I'll be dreaming of a love long gone

I'll hang my head and cry,
I just said my last goodbye, babe

@Jestak cheers for explaining

[Jestak]

@Nuron666 The g'Earls are American; they are best classified, if you can even do that, as kind of old-time country music.

[Nuron666]

What do you call this sort of music?

is this scotish folk music?
