Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true,
D A7
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.
D G D
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
A7 D
Or maybe the coast of California
A7 G D
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
A7
We'll meet another day, another time.
D
It ain't the leavin'
G D
That's a-grievin' me
A7 D
But my true love who's bound to stay behind.
D G D
Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
D A7
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail.
D G D
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west,
D A7 D
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail.
D G D
I will write you a letter from time to time,
D A7
As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too.
D G D
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love,
D A7 D
I will send what I learn back home to you.
D G D
I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles,
D A7
Be them somebody else's or my own.
D G D
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high,
D A7 D
I will travel unnoticed and unknown.
D G D
I've heard tell of a town where I might as well be bound,
D A7
It's down around the old mexican plains.
D G D
They say that the people are all friendly there
D A7 D
And all they ask of you is your name.
