Tom Paxton - Mary Ann lyrics

Fare thee well, my own true love Fare thee well, my dear For the ship is a-waiting and the wind blows high And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Ann 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 and the earth may burn If I never no more return to you, Mary Ann If I never no more return to you, Mary Ann A lobster boiling in a pot Bluefish on a hook They're suffering long but it's nothing like The ache I bear for you, my dear Mary Ann The ache I bear for you, my dear Mary Ann Oh, had I bought 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 I'd pour a drink for you, my dear Mary Ann Fare thee well, my own true love Fare thee well, my dear For the ship is a-waiting and the wind blows high And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Ann And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Ann
