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

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

Fare thee well, love,
Fare thee well, love,
Far away, you must go
Take your heart, love,
Take you heart, love,
Will we never meet, again no more?
Will we never meet, again no more?
