The Fool

Richard Thompson


Gather round me buddies 
Hold your glasses high 
And drink to a fool 
A crazy fool 
Who told his baby, goodbye 

Too late he found out he loves her 
So much he wants to die 
But drink to a fool 
A crazy fool 
Who told his baby, goodbye 

He needs her, he needs her so 
He wonders why 
He let her go-oo, o-oo, oooo 

She's found a new love, buddy 
He's a lucky guy 
So drink to the fool 
'Cause I'm that fool 
Who told his baby, goodbye 

[Instrumental Interlude] 

He needs her, he needs her so 
He wonders why 
He let her go-oo, o-oo, oooo 

She's found a new love, buddy 
He's a lucky guy 
So drink to the fool 
'Cause I'm that fool 
Who told my baby, goodbye 
Who told my baby, goodbye 
Who told my baby, goodbye
