Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fare you well, my dear, I must be gone,
and leave you for a while;
if I roam away I'll come back again,
though I roam ten thousand miles, my dear,
though I roam ten thousand miles.
[Verse 2]
As fair thou art, my bonny lass,
so deep in love am I;
but I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love,
till the stars fall from the sky, my dear,
till the stars fall from the sky.
[Verse 3]
The sea will never run dry, my dear,
nor the rocks never melt with the sun,
but I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love
till all those things be done, my dear,
till all those things be done.
[Verse 4]
O yonder doth sit that little turtle dove,
he doth sit on yonder high tree,
a-making a moan for the loss of his love,
as I will do for thee, my dear,
as I will do for thee.
