Oh, fare thee well, I must be gone
|
And leave you for a while.
|
If ever I go I will return
|
If I go ten thousand miles.
|
|
If I go
|
If I go
|
If I go ten thousand miles.
|
|
Ten thousand miles it is so far
|
To leave me here alone
|
While I may lie lament and cry
|
And you'll not hear my moan.
|
|
And you
|
No, you
|
And you'll not hear my moan.
|
|
The crow that is so black, my love,
|
Will change its colour white.
|
If I ever should prove false to thee
|
The day will turn to night.
|
|
Oh the day
|
Yes, the day
|
Oh the day will turn to night.
|
|
The rivers never will run dry
|
Or the rocks melt with the sun.
|
I'll never prove false to the boy I love
|
Till all these things be done.
|
|
Till all
|
Till all
|
Till all these things be done.
|

Fare Thee Well
