Turtle Dove (2) 
It's fare you well my own true love It's fare you well awhile. If I go away, I will come again If I go ten thousand miles, my dear If I go ten thousand miles. 
Ten thousand miles it is too far To Ieave me here alone Here I may lie, lament and cry You cannot hear me mourn, my dear You cannot hear me mourn. 
To hear you mourn I cannot bear Your pain I cannot ease But if I go l will come again When all your friends are pleased, my dear When all your friends are pleased 
Suppose my friends should ne'er be pleased And look with an angry eye Then I will love thee more and more Till the stars fall from the sky, my dear Till the stars fall from the sky. 
Till the stars fall from the sky my dear And the rocks melt with the sun I'll never prove false to the girl I love Till all those things be done, my dear TiII all those things be done. 
lf those things never should come to pass So long as we do live I'll never prove false to the girl l love Till we both go to one grave, my dear Till we both go to one grave. 
O don`t you see that turtle dove Sitting on yonder tree 
Lamenting for her own true love As I lament for thee, my dear As I lament for thee. 
I am like the turtle dove Tnat flies from tree to tree And as he waiteth for his mate So will l wait for thee, my dear So will I wait for thee. 
When you see this remember me And bear me in your mind And be not like the weather cock That changes with the wind, my dear That changes with the wind. 
The crow that is so black my dear Shall change his color white; If ever I prove false to thee The day shall turn to night, my dear The day shall turn to night.
