Lyrics for Fare Thee Well

Oh, fare thee well, I must be gone And leave you for a while Wherever I go, I will return If I go ten thousand miles If I go- If I go- If I go ten thousand miles Oh, ten thousand miles, it is so far To leave me here alone Well, I may lie, lament and cry And you'll, you'll not hear my moan And you'll- No, you'll- And you'll not hear my moan Oh, the crow that is so black, my love Will change his color white If ever I should prove false to thee The day, day will turn to night Yes, the day- Oh, the day- Yes, the day will turn to night Oh, the rivers never will run dry For the rocks melt with the sun I'll never prove false to the boy I love Till all, all these things be done Till all- Till all- Till all these things be done
