Origins here, plus MCC. Variant in DT (Ten Thousand Miles)
Thread 4015: Ten Thousand

In "The Joan Baez Songbook" of 1964, Amsco, pp. 42-43, with music score.

Oh, G(D)fare thee F(C)well, I G(D))must be gone,
And G(D)leave you F(C)for a D7(A7)while,
Wher G(D)ever I go I Em(Bm)will return,
if I C(G)go    ten G(D)thou- sand Em(Bm)miles,
Em(Bm)...Em... Em(Bm) if I G(D)go
   C(G)   G(D)   if I Em(Bm)go,
if I C(G)go      ten D7(A7)thou - sand G(D)miles.
(hope than makes sense- )

verse 2, 3 corrections by Little Hawk are correct-
-cry, and you, you'll not hear my moan,
And you'll, --- no you'll, and you'll not hear my moan.

A favorite of mine.
