Gene Watson - Farewell Party Lyrics
When the last, breath of life
Is gone from, my body
And my lips, are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather 'round
For my farewell party
There will be flowers from those
Who cry, when I'm gone
And leave you in this, world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone
Don't be mad at me, for wanting to keep you
Till my life on this old world is through
But I'll go away loving you
There will be flowers from those
Who cry, when I'm gone
And leave you in this, world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone
Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone

When the last, breath of life
Is gone from, my body
And my lips, are as cold as the sea
When my friends gather 'round
For my farewell party
Won't you, pretend you love me
There will be flowers from those
Who cry, when I'm gone
And leave you in this, world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone
Don't be mad at me, for wanting to keep you
Till my life on this old world is through
You'll be free at the end of my farewell party
But I'll go away loving you
There will be flowers from those
Who cry, when I'm gone
And leave you in this, world alone
I know you'll have fun
At my farewell party
I know, you'll be glad, when I'm gone
Oh, I know you'll be glad when I'm gone

Just made Gene a member of the Grand Old Opry in 2020....LOL. .............How'd they manage without the greatest country singer in history?
Beautiful and sad at the same time.
Its about time gene got inducted i always loved him and farewell party was his best song the grand ole opry should induct more older people.
is that Larry Gatlin in the brown jacket faceing Porter Wagner ?
I am huge fan of yours. I buy all of the CDs l find. Which is not that many because I live in a small town. I listen to the radio all the time trying to hear your music. I love both your country and gospel, l go bed listening to it every night. I am disabled and don't drive so I can't make it to one of your concerts . A number one fan
I'm a big fan of gene Watson
He has a voice like no other.

He’s my uncle
My god if this song doesn't bring a tear to your eye you flat out don't have a heart and soul and you definitely don't know what the meanings of real country music is all i can say is ...wow....you go gene
Could possibly; all Eight Million people that have viewed this "Storm Nashville" and get Gene Watson in the Hall of fame? For the "real Gods Sake!" A travesty! I have no clue who he peed off but!!!!!
A FAN FOR
MANY YEARS'
You are so right.

So Many Memories
This performance is proof positive of another artist that never received the recognition that he deserved.
LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH...I COULD LISTEN TO GENE SING ALL DAY LONG..GIVE HIM A PHONE BOOK AND I THINK HE COULD SING IT
Real Country Music
yeah thats some trampoline at the end, with vocal chords of steel nice one Gene.
Hes got country soul . The best of country
One of the best song i've ever heard almost as he stopped loving her today
In the Video of him sitting and singing. Lorrie Morgan and another female were quietly singing behind him. Both have beautiful voices. At one time , I believe it was Ralph Emery said something to them. They stopped singing. The song and Gene Watson are fantastic, but it wouldn't have hurt to let them sing along. They were not trying to overpower him. A lot of beautiful voices in that room.
There were others singing. Lorrie and others had mic's. Maybe Im reading too much into it.
pure talent untouched by many great voice great performer
I told my family they could play this at my funeral.
I said the the same thing when I played with him in the 90's! He always sang great no matter if he was sick or had a cold. Love you Gene Watson
My homeboy, Seen him live many times. He used to play poker at a car lot on Friday nights when he was in town. Sometimes I'd be there at the same time. Very nice and real man.
The best of all the Country singers
Who is the guy in the black hat?
@ Glenda White..The guy with the black hat is Waylon Jennings.
Love that man, he just gets better with age!!!
Gene never changes from day one, he still sounds the same, love listening to him, want to go see him again
You can't find lyrics or melody like this in today's country music...sad but true..
Now this is country music at it's best !!! Absolutely love this song!! Could listen to it all day !!❤
I have always said I want this played at my funeral.
No country voice any better..shame on you country hall for not including Gene !
Are there any questions?
If anybody could ever take over the immortality of the late great Merle Haggard this is definitely the man
beautiful sad song but its true
Love Gene One Of My Favorite Songs
So honored by his peers...wonderful
He's always had one of the finest voices in the industry.
Just saw him perform at the Grand Ole Opry, and he sounds exactly the same!
I love his voice
Christ I’m in Texas and didn’t no he was performing in Fort Worth on Saturday 27th i was in that shit hole Amarillo.?
Are there any questions?
Great song and singer
this is why he has over 8 million views
💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Are there any questions.
I’m playing this in the car for my grandma. I’m not a fan but it makes her happy to hear it so .
Love, love all his songs.
That is about a bad relationship. His Needs/Her Needs can help some. It's a good book.
But as I heard, love is like a pie. Each time one gets angry and especially using hurtful words, a piece of the pie is taken. With a little time, all the pie is gone. Best learn to fight fair.
But man can Gene Watson sing this song.
He better be put in Hall of Fame. He deserves it!!!
Those that posted thumbs down don't know true Country music. Gene is one of the greatest singers I have heard!
Thanks for sharing
GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS 💖 😊
Like this Song & Singer.
No, I won't be glad when Gene Watson is gone! Love his sound ... and wish I had the nerve to sing with him!
What is the name of this gathering it was a great idea
@ Larry Lehman....Its from a VHS series called Ryman Country Homecoming introduced by Ralph Emery..the series is now discontinued.
Anyone else here because of netflix???
It takes a very talented singer to make you feel a song to your very core. Gene Watson is among the best at doing just that as attested to by his colleagues reaction (and mine). He is truly among the best.
Love this song <3
Are there any questions? Gene knows how to deliver.
who are the others in this video
" He did it sittin down ! That oughta be against the law ! " Lol
I WANT GENE WATSON IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME ASAP.........HE'S FLAWLESS AND TIMELESS IN HIS MUSIC. HE WAS UNDERRATED & DESERVES THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME
Seriously talented artist...Wow.
He is great
I had not heard of him until today, but he certainly has an impressive repertoire of 'salt of the earth' musical creations.
Wonderful, wonderful! One of my three favorite singers:
Marty Robbins
Gene Watson
Faron Young
THAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME!
Wow, & look at who is on stage with him. Larry Gatlin enjoying it as much as me. O yes!
This is what country music needs to get back to
Love me some Gene Watson Time! At one time, I wanted to try out to sing with him and give him some of my songs ... But, I chickened out! I get tongue-tied when around famous people!
Correction Carman good song.
He did it sitten down!!! That man could do it laying down. That high note at the end!!!! Dang! Truly a legend. He's my daddy's favorite singer.
Yeah just pretend like you did for the last two years. Lol. You deserve a Academy Award for very best actor. Lol
