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
