10,000 Miles

[Verse 1]

Fare thee well

My own true love

Farewell for a while

I'm going away

But I'll be back

Though I go ten thousand miles

[Verse 2]

Ten thousand miles

My own true love

Ten thousand miles or more

The rocks may melt

And the seas may burn

If I should not return

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

You've been a friend to me

You've been a friend to me

[Outro]

Fare thee well

My own true love

Farewell for a while

I'm going away
