Fare Thee Well Lyrics

Fare Thee Well

Music and lyrics by Jimmy Rankin


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.
O'er mountains and country wide
Take my heart, love
Take my heart, love
No one knows the tears I've cried.

So I'll drink today, love, 
I'll sing to you, love
in pauper'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 love
this lonely girl has had no peace of mind

So I'll drink today, love, 
I'll sing to you, love
in pauper'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    Fare thee well, fare thee well
Far away, you must go.                      Far away you must go.
Take my heart, love                         Take my heart
Take my heart, love                         Take your heart
Will we never meet again no more?           Will we never meet again no more?
Will we never meet again no more?           Will we never meet again no more?
