The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I'm going away
But I'll return
If I go 10,000 miles
10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
And the rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I no more return
And you see
Yon lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She's weeping for
Her own true love
As I will weep for mine
Oh come back
My own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend
All on this earth
Then you'll be a friend to me, my dear
Oh come back
My own true love
Stay a while with me
For if I had a friend
All on this earth
Then you'll be that friend to me, my dear
You'll be that friend to me
Then you'll be that friend to me, my dear
You'll be that friend to me
