Fare Thee Well My Own True Love - Mary Black

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

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

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

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

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 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
