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
Ten thousand miles, my own true love
Ten thousand miles or more
The rocks may melt and the seas may burn
If I should not return
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
Oh, come ye back, my own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend all on this earth
You've been a friend to me
