A Goodbye Song from Madeline Smith to You

Maddie and me full of dinner tonight.

Maddie, who plays the guitar and writes her own songs, wrote the following goodbye (to the tune of "Handsome Molly") in order to say au revoir to her friends in the Roanoke Valley as she embarks on her adventure in Spain Friday for the next few years:

Going Away to Spain

I'll fly far aw-ay
To a land called Spain
I'll play this old guitar there
Without a worry or care

They'll all be speaking Spanish
And the food I'll try a new dish
And all my family and friends here
I'll write how much they're missed
