Fare thee well, my own true love
Farewell for a while, I'm going away
But I'll be back though I 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 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
