lyrics

“Fare thee well, my dearest dear since I must leave you
I can no longer stay, I must go from you”
“Oh, I shall pine and die if you go from me
So stay at home my Dear, and do not leave me”

“Why would you go to sea to fight for strangers
When you could stay. at home free from all dangers
I’ll enfold you in my arms, my dearest jewel
And I’ll keep you from all hards. Love, do not be cruel”

Then on her knees she fell, like on a’dying
And spread her arms abroad and this replying
“Awake you rocks and stones that is now relenting
All for the sake of one I die lamenting”

“Fare thee well you parents dear, Father and Mother
You have lost your daughter dear, I have no other
It’s vain to weep for me, for I am going
Where joys forever be and fountains flowing”
