The Leaving of Franschhoek

I'm going to Uvongo Just me, my cat, and I I'm saying good bye to Franschhoek where I watched my darling die To many, it's a great place where they have all that they can hold but to me it is a sad place at the back end of the world I'm off to see Uvongo to see some greener hue I'm off to seek some happy times with people I once knew My sadness must just stay here Where once my happiness was true for I'm off to see Uvongo so goodbye from me to you. Uvongo is my new life where perhaps I can live again to walk the beach and swim the sea perhaps find love to ease my pain to my friends I'll always love you and you'll always be welcome there you'll also know that I have to go and for you I'll always care. So I'm off to live Uvongo just I, my cat and me I'm off to see Uvongo and live beside the sea I'm off to live a new life at the age of eighty-three some will say I'm an old fool but that is life to me.
