Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. My Little Dear My little dear, so fare-you-well, You slight me, but I wish you well. You have broken my heart, Oh, how can I from you depart? The pain of love no tongue can tell No mind can think, no heart can swell. I’ll tell to you in a few short lines, It is worse than death ten thousand times. I go to cry, to mourn, to weep, With thoughts of you, I ne’er can sleep. When all is done, and all is told, My little dear, God bless your soul. A many an hour I’ve spent with you, But I never knew that you were not true. It breaks my heart to have to part, To think of your deceitful heart. My little love, my harmless dove, You are the only one I love. If you on earth I never more see, I’ll never serve you like you have me. And when I’m dead and gone to rest, Remember the one that loved you best. And when you are passing around my grave, Ah, think of the one that loved you brave. Come , all ye run of Adam’s race, I’ll tell to you my sad disgrace. I’ve loved you long, I’ve loved you bold. My little dear, God bless your soul. When days are dark, and friends are few, Remember me and I will you. And if on earth we meet no more. I hope we’ll meet on Canaan’s shore. Alas! My Darling Broken-Hearted ballads Come All Ye Girls from Adam's Race My Little Dear So Fare You Well My Little Dear; So Fare You Well My Little Love So Farewell songs and music betrayal songs and music death songs and music unrequited love Songs with Feeling
