Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, can't you see the little turtle dove
Sitting under the mulberry tree?
See how that she does mourn for her true love
As I shall mourn for thee, my love
As I shall mourn for thee
[Verse 2]
Oh, fare thee well, my little turtle dove
And fare thee well for a while
For though you go, you'll surely return
If yo go ten thousand miles, my love
If you go ten thousand miles
[Verse 3]
Ten thousand miles is very far away
For you to return to me
You'll leave me here to lament and well-a-day
My tears you will not see, my love
My tears you will not see
[Verse 4]
The crow that's black, my little turtle dove
Shall change its color white
If I prove false to the songbird that I love
The noonday shall sound as night, my love
The noonday shall sound as night
[Verse 5]
The hills shall fly, my little turtle dove
And the roaring billows burn
Before my heart shall suffer me to fail
Or I a traitor turn, my love
Or I a traitor turn
Or I a traitor turn, or I a traitor turn
Or I a traitor turn
Or I a traitor turn
Or I a traitor turn
[Verse 6]
The stars shall fall, my little turtle dove
And the rocks melt with the sun
If I prove false, to the mother that I love
Till all these things be done, my love
Till all these things be done
