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 Don't you see yon lonesome dove Sitting on yon ivy tree? And she is weeping for her own true love 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 on all this earth You've been a friend to me Fare you well, my own true love And farewell for a while I'm going away, but I'll be back If I go ten thousand miles
