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
All the mountains and countrywide
Take my heart, love, take my heart, love
No, no, the tears have dried
So I'll drink today, love
I'll sing to you, love
In barber's 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
Oh, lonely girl, there's no peace of mind
So I'll drink today, love
I'll sing to you, love
In barber's 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 my heart, love, take my heart, love
Will we never meet again no more?
