[Verse 1]
Fair thee well, my own true love
Fair well for a while, I'm going away
But I'll be back, if I go 10, 000 miles, if I go 10, 000 miles
[Chorus]
And the seas they will burn
The sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love
[Verse 2]
Don't you see that morning dove
Sitting up on the line, she's weeping for her own true love
As I will wait for mine, as I will wait for mine
[Chorus]
And the seas they will burn
The sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love, to you
[Verse 3]
Come you back, my own true love
Still I will wait, if I've had a friend on this earth
You've been a friend to me, you've been a friend to me
[Chorus]
And the seas they will burn, my love
The sun it will dry the ocean up
If I never return, my love
