Fare thee well, love,
Fare thee well, love,
Far away, you must go.
Take your heart, love,
Take you heart, love,
We will 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,
We will never meet, again no more?
We will never meet, again no more?
