[Verse 1]
Oh fare thee well, I must be gone
And leave you for awhile
Wherever I go, I will return
If I go ten thousand miles
If I go, if I go, if I go ten thousand miles

[Verse 2]
Oh, ten thousand miles, it is so far
To leave me here alone
While 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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
