Oh fare thee well my own true love
Fare thee well but for a while
The ship is waitin' an' the wind blows high
An' I am bound away for the sea,
Mary Ann? Aaa Aaa Aaa
I am bound away for the sea, Mary Ann
verse 2
Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze an' the earth may burn
If I never no-more return to you,
Mary Ann? Aaa Aaa Aaa
If I never no-more return to you, Mary Ann
verse 3
Oh don't you see that crow fly high
She'll surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Let the day turn to night, my dear
Mary Ann? Aaa? Aaa? Aaa?
Let the day turn to night, my dear. Mary Ann.
verse 4
Oh, if I had a flask of gin
an' sugar here for two
An' a great big bowl for to mix it in
I'd pour a drink for you, my dear
Mary Ann? Aaa? Aaa? Aaa?
Yes I'd pour a drink for you, my dear. Mary Ann.
