Fare thee well
My own true love.
Fare well for a while.
I'm going 'way,
But I'll be back.
O I'll 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.
O don't you see,
That lonesome dove?
Sitting on an ivy tree.
She's looking for...
Her own true love,
As I shall weep for mine.
O come he back,
My own true love,
And stay a while with me.
If I had a friend
All on this world,
He'll be a friend to me.
