Can anyone shed some light on this ballad please. Farewell my love farewell, Fare the well adieu, For I must go to sea all for the love of you. But my love have a patient heart, for you must bear the smart, For you and I must part, my Turtle-dove. I have all the verses (infact two versions, though both similar) I would like to know a little more of its background if possible.If anyone can provide the complete ballad as 'they' know it I would appreciate it. I know Mick Ryan sings a version on one of his CD's and I have a taped recording (1992)of Phil Callery (voice squad) singing it. Thanks Eoin
