FARE YOU WELL, MY OWN TRUE LOVE,

FAREWELL FOR A WHILE, IM GOING AWAY ....

BUT ILL BE BACK, IF I GO TEN THOUSAND MILES ...



TEN THOUSAND MILES, MY OWN TRUE LOVE,

TEN THOUSAND MILES OR MORE,

AND THE ROCK'S MAY MELT .... AND THE SEA'S MAY BURN

IF I NO MORE RETURN ...



OH DONT YOU SEE, YOU LONESOME DOVE,

SITTING ON YON IVORY TREE,

SHE'S WEEPING FOR .... HER OWN TRUE LOVE,

AS I SHALL 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, YOU'VE BEEN A FRIEND TO ME ... .
