Ian & Sylvia — Mary Anne

[Verse 1] Fare thee well, my own true love Fare thee well, my dear For the ship is a-waitin', and the wind blows high And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne [Verse 2] Ten thousand miles away from home Ten thousand miles or more The sea may freeze, and the earth may burn If I never know more return to you, Mary Anne If I never know more return to you, Mary Anne [Verse 3] A lobster boilin' in the pot A bluefish on the hook There's sufferin' long but it's nothin' like The ache I bear for you, my dear Mary Anne The ache I bear for you, my dear Mary Anne [Verse 4] Had I brought a flask of gin Sugar here for two And a great big bowl for to mix them in I'd pour a drink for you, my dear Mary Anne I'd pour a drink for you, my dear Mary Anne [Verse 5] Fare thee well, my own true love Fare thee well, my dear For the ship is a-waitin', and the wind blows high And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne
