Jackson, Alan - 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 around for my farewell party
Won't you pretend you love me

There will be flowers from those who cry when I go
And leave you in this old 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
Til 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 go
And leave you in this old world alone
I know you'll have fun at my farewell party
I know you 'll be glad when I'm gone
Yes I know you'll be glad when I'm g-o-n-e.

    Allen does the best job on farewell party and on my own kind of hat I've got all his music he's a credit to his profession

  24. C.... F....

    My dad sang and danced with my mom and told all of us he wanted us to play this at his funeral and on 1/3/15 we did play it for him at his funeral I love and miss you dad

    C.... F....

    "I know you'll be glad when I'm gone". Why would someone play this at a funeral for someone they love?

    C.... F....

    @24 Lancelot Because it is a beautiful song. And the words are true to some people. I love it myself.

    C.... F....

    You do realize the song is meant as a guilt trip, right?

    C.... F....

    @24 Lancelot If the shoe fits. I say wear it!!!!!!

    C.... F....

    Sounds like you have a problem that you can't deal with. But...it's your problem. Nobody else's. Good luck with it.

  25. C.... ....

    this is a good rendition of this song better than the original in my opinion my dad wanted this played at his funeral in 2003 so every time I hear it I think of my dad keep up the good work Alan

  26. P.... ....

    Very well done. To say this is not quite as great as Gene Watson's original is not at all to tear Alan's recording down. You can sing this song pretty great... and not quite match Gene!

  27. A.... A....

    Luv this reminds me of my daddy . idk AJ. Ur a lot like my dad. Could listen to u all day long . keep it country. I'll say no more.

  33. K.... B....

    My sweet Daddy loved this song, so hats off to you J.E.Garett. with love, miss you Daddy Kitty

    I LOVE GENE'S VERSION BETTER

  35. L.... P....

    I get the chills


    L.... P....

  39. W.... T....

    It is a very true song to some of us.

    W.... T....

    Sooner or later this song is true for all of us .

  40. d.... ....

    I swear god there is this mechanic in my town that looks just like Alan Jackson

    d.... ....

    d0min0danc1ng he has been a mechanic and still likes to tinker with cars,etc. could be his cousin????

  41. t.... w....

    its not about the family being glad he is gone, it is about the dirty ole' whore he is leaving behind

  42. p.... ....

    look up Joe Nicholes version, IMO it's easily the best

    p.... ....

    Hello friend.........Imo, Gene has the best rendition.
    The only criticism I have about Joe's version is that he chops off some of the words and that disrupts the melody.
    That said, I do think Joe is a fantastic singer and I thank you for introducing him to me!

  43. j.... P....

    Just love Alan, he is like a fine wine gets better with age, if that is possible. He sure does a great job on other entertainers songs, like this Gene Watson one. Have 3 of this cd. GREAT JOB as always. Thank you

  44. A.... M....

    Love it! Thank you for sharing.

  45. P.... D....

    i heard a Alan Jackson song on a wsm650 am last week ,sounded like hank sr. days anyone know the name of it

  46. A.... B....

    In a lot of cases, I tend to like the original version of a song better simply because it's the original. I honestly can't compare this version to Gene Watson's version, though. They're both good.

    A.... B....

    Gene Watson was not the original, Lawton Williams,then little Jimmy Dickens, & seversl others recorded it before Gene, however Gene has the best version of all. and was that made the song a household name.

  47. D.... ....

    Sorry guys, but Alan can't sing this song half as good as Gene Watson.

    D.... ....

    He can damn sure sing it better than you . !!!!

  48. m.... ....

    m.... ....
