Ten Thousand Miles

Fare thee well my own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away, but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles

Ten thousand miles my own true love
Ten thousand miles or more
And the rocks may melt, and the seas may burn
If I no more return

Oh don't you seen the turtle dove
Sitting on yon ivy tree?
She's weeping for her own true love
Just as I shall weep for thee

Oh come back my own true love
And stay a while with me
For if I had a friend all on this earth
You've been a friend to me

Fare thee well my own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away, but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles
