vers 1
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll return
If I go 10, 000 miles
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll return
If I go 10, 000 miles
vers 2
10, 000 miles
My own true love
10, 000 miles or more
And the rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I no more return
My own true love
10, 000 miles or more
And the rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I no more return
vers 3
And you see
Yon lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I will weep for mine
Yon lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I will weep for mine
vers 4
Oh come back
My own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend
All on this earth
Then you'll be a friend to me, my dear
My own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend
All on this earth
Then you'll be a friend to me, my dear
vers 5
Oh come back
My own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend
All on this earth
My own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend
All on this earth
vers 6
Then you'll be that friend to me, my dear
You'll be that friend to me
Then you'll be that friend to me, my dear
You'll be that friend to me
You'll be that friend to me
Then you'll be that friend to me, my dear
You'll be that friend to me
