Oh fare you well my own true love,
Fare you well my dear;
For the ship is waiting and the wind blows high,
And I am bound away for the sea, Mary Ann.
And I am bound away for the sea Marie Ann
.
Oh yonder don’t you see the turtle dove
That sits on yonder stile,
Lamenting the loss of her own true love
As I do now for mine love Mary Anne.
As I do now for mine love Mary Anne.
.
And if I should suffer grieve an pain
Tis for a little while
for thou I must go I’ll return again
Thou I go ten thousand miles my love Marie Ann
Thou I go ten thousand miles my love Marie Ann
.
And the waves shall cease to beat the shore
The Stars fall from the skys
but I will love you more and more
Until the day I die my lover Marie Ann
Until the day I die my lover Marie Ann
