Francis Clive Savill Carey CBE (30 May 1883 – 30 April 1968),[1] known as Clive Carey, was a British baritone, singing teacher, composer, opera producer and folk song collector.
This tune is a variant of The True Lover's Farewell. It was popular in both England and in America. Cecil Sharp collected nine variants in the Appalachian Mountains. Another variant and alternate title is Ten Thousand Miles.
True Lover's Farewell appeared in Roxburghe Ballads dated 1710. It was also in Five excellent New Songs a collection printed in 1792.
The song is similar to a song Queen Mary's Lament, that was printed in Johnson's Scots Musical Museum (1787-1803).
