Lyrics
O fare you well I must be gone
And leave you for a while
But wherever I go I will return
If I go ten thousand miles my dear
If I go ten thousand miles
Ten thousand miles it is so far
To leave me here alone
Whilst I may lie lament and cry
And you will not hear my moan my dear
And you will not hear my moan
The crow that is so black my dear
Shall change his colour white;
And if ever I prove false to thee
The day shall turn to night my dear
The day shall turn to night
O don't you see that milk-white dove
A-sitting on yonder tree
Lamenting for her own true love
As I lament for thee my dear
As I lament for thee
The river never will run dry
Nor the rocks melt with the sun;
And I'll never prove false to the girl I love
Till all these things be done my dear
Till all these things be done
