Fare thee well, gentle maid I'll see you on your way And the sun will rise tomorrow And wash my sins away For I know that I've abused you But I only had a day And I know that's why you left me In your own sad little way I am gone, disappeared But I hear a young dove crying Three thousand miles from here Some would say you were a loser' Cause you play a loser's game But then if I am a winner Why then am I so ashamed? If you hear a young dove crying You'll know it's me to blame For I never got her number I never knew her name Now she's gone, disappeared But I hear a young dove crying Three thousand miles from here
