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
CHORUS
So I'll drink today, love
I'll sing to you, love
In paupers 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 I've gone, love, gone away, love
This lonely girl has had no peace of mind
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
CHORUS
So I'll drink today, love
I'll sing to you, love
In paupers 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 I've gone, love, gone away, love
This lonely girl has had no peace of mind
