Fare Thee Well My Own True Love     Credits: Traditional     Appears On: Collected     Language: English     Other Versions: "Ten Thousand Miles" on Altan's album Another Sky

Lyrics:

Fare thee well, my own true love
Farewell, for a while I'm going away
But I'll return 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

Can't you see yon lonesome dove
Sitting on yon 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'd be that friend to me, my dear
(2x)

You'd be that friend to me
Oh you'd be that friend to me, my dear
You'd be that friend to me
