Fair thee well, my own true love
Fair well for a while, I´m going away
But I´ll be back, if I go 10, 000 miles, if I go 10, 000 miles

And the seas they will burn
The sun it will dry the ocean up

If I never return, my love

Don´t you see that morning dove
Sitting up on the line, she´s weeping for her own true love
As I will wait for mine, as I will wait for mine

And the seas they will burn
The sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love, to you

Come you back, my own true love
Still I will wait, if I´ve had a friend on this earth
You´ve been a friend to me, you´ve been a friend to me

And the seas they will burn, my love
The sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love
