No, "bided adieu" is not correct. The correct phrase is "bade adieu," which means to say goodbye or farewell.

Adieu is french for goodbye.

The song is "Spanish Ladies" and the author's name is lost to history...

"Farewell and adieu to you Spanish Ladies

Farewell and adieu to you Ladies of Spain,

For we've received orders to sail for old England,

And we hope in a short while to see thee again."

This is an old sea shanty, or capstan song which was modified a bit to be "Boston Ladies" for the film "Jaws" as sung by Robert Shaw as Quint.

Father Adieu

I am sorry for you

My heart is filed with trouble

So what can I do?

If I never see you any more

till that last trumpet shall sound,

prepare to meet in heaven where

parting is no more

Mother adieu....

Sister adieu....

Brother adieu...

Father adieu...
