Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
Oh, don't you see
That lonesome dove?
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine
Oh, come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this Earth
You've been a friend to me
You've been a friend to me
You've been a friend to me
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
