Sam Robson: Fare Thee Well, Love

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841 – 1919), Alfred Sisley (1876), The Art Institute of Chicago, Image Source: wikimedia
Fare thee Well, love
Far away,
you must go
Take your heart, love
Will we never meet again no more?

Far across, love
O'er mountains and country wide
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
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.

Take my heart, love
Take your heart
Will we never meet again no more?
