Oh, fare thee well I must be gone And leave you for a while Wherever I go, I will return If I go If I go ten thousand miles If I go If I go If I go ten thousand miles Oh, the crow that is so black my love Would change his color white If ever I'm false to the boy I love Day, day would turn to night Yes, the day Oh, the day Yes, the day would turn to night Oh, the rivers never will run dry Or the rocks melt with the sun I'll never be false to the boy I love Tell all, all these things be done Tell all No, tell all Tell all these things be done Fare thee well Fare thee well Fare thee well, my love
