The True Lover’s Farewell

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 mile, my dear If I go ten thousand mile 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 yondеr tree Lamenting for her own true lovе 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
