Fare thee well

My own true love

Farewell for a while

I'm going away

But I'll be back

Though I go 10000 miles

10000 miles

My own true love

10000 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
