10,000 Miles
(Traditional)

Fare thee well 
My own true love 
Farewell for a while 
I’m going away 
But I’ll be back 
Though I go 10,000 miles

10,000 miles 
My own true love 
10,000 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
