Lyrics:

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

You've been a friend to me

You've been a friend to me

Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
