mary ann (alternate version)

Singer:marianne faithfull

fare thee well

my own true love

fare thee well a while

for the ship is a-waiting and the wind blows free

and i am bound away for the sea

mary ann

if i had a flask of gin

whiskey there for two

and a great big bowl for to mix them in

i'd mix a drink for you my dear

mary ann

the lobster boiling in the pot

the bluefish on the hook

the pain they bear is nothing like

the ache i bear for you

my dear

mary ann

fare thee well

my own true love

fare thee well a while

for though i go i'll surely come again

though it be ten thousand miles

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 free

and i am bound away for the sea

mary ann
