FARE THEE WELL, LOVE

Fare thee well love, fare thee well love!
Far away you must go.
Take your heart love, take your heart love.
Will we never meet again no more?

Far across love, far across love
o’er the mountains and country wide.
Take my heart love, take my heart love,
no one knows the tears I’ve cried.

Refrain
So I’ll drink today love, I’ll sing to you love.
In pauper’s glory my time I’ll bide.
No home or ties love, a restless rover,
if I can’t have you by my side.

Oh come back love, oh come back love,
the sun and moon refuse to shine.
Since you’ve gone love, gone away love,
this lonely boy has had no peace of mind.

Refrain

Fare thee well love, fare thee well love
Far away you must go!
Take my heart love, take your heart love,
will we never meet again no more?
