Fare you well, my own true love Farewell for a while I am 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 yon lonesome dove Sitting on yon ivy tree 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 If I had a friend all on this earth You have been a friend to me
