The Turtle Dove

Traditional British folk song recorded acapella, this was the first song I recorded straight into the computer. It has been remixed 3 times by 3 different artists.


Lyrics

Fare thee well my dear I must be gone
And leave you for a while
Though I roam away I'll come back again
Though I roam 10 thousand miles, My dear
Though I roam 10 thousand miles

Oh yonder doth sit that little turtle dove
It doth sit on yonder high tree
A making a moan for the loss of his love
As I will do for thee, My dear
As I will do for thee

Answer 5

Fare you well, my dear, I must be gone,
And leave you for a while;
If I roam away I'll come back again,
Though I roam ten thousand miles, my dear,
Though I roam ten thousand miles.

So fair thou art, my bonny lass,
So deep in love am I;
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love,
Till the stars fall from the sky, my dear,
Till the stars fall from the sky.

The sea will never run dry, my dear,
Nor the rocks melt with the sun,
But I never will prove false to the bonny lass I love,
Till all these things be done, my dear,
Till all these things be done.

O yonder doth sit that little turtle dove,
He doth sit on yonder high tree,
A-making a moan for the loss of his love,
As I will do for thee, my dear,
As I will do for thee.

I met a lass with eyes of glass Named amy atlas-friend She cooked for me, I served her tea For two upon the thames But dont believe the thought police Theyll twist your words in fives If love is blind then so am i My dove begins to fly I know you need love too I heard you wanna be my dove Ive seen us near venus Between us Would you be my Love is the color of the dove That awakens my blood Turtle turtle turtle dove The day began with cakes and flans And elderberry wine We swam the brook where atlas shook And coaxed her cat alive Again, she screamed and bit my sleeve To twist my head in fives This honeybee became for me A london trippers prize I know you want to love me I know you turtle dove Ive seen blood on the watchtower I love you turtle dove Laugh like a lion, dance like a dove Nighttime fell with big bens bell On sycamore street west She gripped my wrist And whispered bliss And handed me a test Is londons lass with eyes of glass A dove that God would send? With blackbird pie my wings spread wide And flew to amy friend : )
