Fare thee well, my own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away, but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles
If I go ten thousand miles
And the seas they will burn, my love
The Sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love
Oh, don't you see
That mourning dove
Sitting up on the line
She's weeping for her own true love
As I will weep for mine
As I will weep for mine
And the seas they will burn, my love
The Sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love
To you
Come you back, my own true love
Stay awhile with me
If I've had a friend all on this earth
You've been a friend to me
You've been a friend to me
And the seas they will burn, my love
The Sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love
