Fare thee well, my dearest friend
Fare thee well, adieu
Since you and I must part, love
Have a patient heart
You no longer bear the smart in your brand new start
You'll have silver and bright gold,
castles and land,
the jewels from the sand in the palm of your hand
Our boat was cast away
Misfortune it did form
For I did swim to shore
But you drowned
Oh now you're lying in a deep
everlasting sleep,
which causes me to weep forever more
But you'll have silver and bright gold,
castles and land,
the jewels from the sand in the palm of your hand
You'll have silver and bright gold,
castles and land,
the jewels from the sand in the palm (in the palm, in the palm) of your hand
You'll have silver and bright gold,
castles and land,
the jewels from the sand in the palm (in the palm, in the palm) of your hand
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
Oh, in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
