Grandpa left the old homested in Maine

He headed south to seek fortune and fame

Waved goodbye to the old folks in the fields

Where they tilled and they toiled out their years
[Chorus]

And never once did he return or ever look back

Grandpa left the old farmsted in Maine

He took little but his gile and his given name

He breathed work like the mule from dawn to dusk

As he made his mark in the land of boon and bust
[Chorus]

And never once did he return or ever look back

Heading south from Bangor on that old B & M Track

Aroostook County, Fare Thee Well
[Verse]
A D A
He was born in the pyre by the stove
D A
Through twenty miles in the snow the doctor drove
A D A
His pa stood in the kitchen with a hired hand
E D A
And vowed his only son would never till the land
D E A
Two hundred years had passed since his people reached this shore
D E A D
Taking from the land what it gave and no more
A D A
But the mills gave out this smoking cough
D A
So he migrated south like the geese in fall
