Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go ten thousand miles
[Verse 2]
Ten thousand miles
My own true love
Ten thousand miles or more
[Verse 3]
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Oh, come  ye back
My own true love
And stay awhile with me
If I had a friend
All on this Earth
You've been a friend to me
[Verse 6]
You've been a friend to me
You've been a friend to me
[Verse 7]
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
