10,000 Miles Lyrics

Fare thee well my own true love
And 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 should not return.
Oh don't you see that lonesome dove,
Sitting on an ivy tree,
She's weeping for her own true love
Just as I shall weep for mine.
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.
And fare thee well my own true love
And farewell for a while.
I'm going away, but I'll be back
If I go ten thousand miles
