Fare Thee Well (I Must Be Gone) Songtext
von Chad & Jeremy

Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well, my dear
The ship is a-waitin′ and the wind blows free
And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Ann

Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze or the earth may burn
If I never no more return to thee, Mary Ann


The lobster boilin' in the pot
The bluefish on the hook
The pain they bear is nothin′ like
The ache I bear for you, my dear Mary Ann

If I had a flask of gin
Sugar here for two
And a great big bowl for to mix 'em in
I'd pour a drink for you, my dear Mary Ann

Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well, my dear
The ship is a-waitin′ and the wind blows free
I am bound away to the sea
I am bound away to the sea
I am bound away to the sea, Mary Ann
