Lyrics
Fare you well, my own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away, but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles
Ten thousand miles is a long way
Ten thousand miles and more
And the rocks may melt and the seas may burn
If I no more return
Oh, don't you see your lonesome dove
Sitting on your ivy tree?
She's making her moan for the loss of her own
As I shall do for mine
Oh, come back, my own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I'm your friend all on this earth
You've been a friend to me
Fare you well, my own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away, but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles
