shirley collins & dolly collins - fare thee well my dearest dear lyrics
fare thee well, my dearest dear, fare thee well, adieu
for i must go to sea for the sake of you
love, bear a patient heart, for you must bear the smart
since you and i must part, my turtle dove
you’ll have silver and bright gold, houses and land
what more can you desire, love? don’t complain
and jewels to your hand, and maids at your command
but you must think of me when i am gone
your gold shall count as dust when that you are fled
your absence proves me lost and strikes me dead
and when you are from home, your servants i’ll have none
i’ll rather live alone than in company
so nimbly then she’s dressed all in man’s attire
all for to go to sea was her heart’s desire
she cut her lovely hair, and no mistrust was there
that she a maiden were, all at the time
to venice we were bound with our hearts’ content
no thought of ship being wrecked, away we went
from london but one day, our ship was cast away
which caused our lives to lay in discontent
for our ship was cast away, misfortune it did frown
for i did swim to shore but she was drowned
now she lies in the deep in everlasting sleep
which causes me to weep for evermore
