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, my own true love Ten thousand miles or more And the rocks may melt And the seas may burn If I no more return Oh, don't you see, that lonesome dove Sitting on an ivy tree She's weeping for her own true love Just as I shall weep for mine Oh, come back, my own true love And stay a while with me For if I had a 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
