Lyrics Fare Thee Well My Own True Love

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

Can't you see yon lonesome dove
Sitting on yon ivy tree?
She's weeping for her own true love
As I will weep for mine

Oh come back, my own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend all on this earth
Then you'd be that friend to me, my dear
[x2]

You'd be that friend to me
Oh you'd be that friend to me, my dear
You'd be that friend to me
