Fare Thee Well Marianne Fare thee well, my own true love Fare thee well, my dear The ship is sailin' and the wind blows free And I am bound away to the sea, Marianne Ten thousand miles away from home Ten thousand miles or more The sea may freeze or the Earth may burn If I never more return to you, Marianne The lobster boiling in the pot The bluefish on the hook Their sufferings long but it's nothing like The ache I bear for you, Marianne And if I had a flask of gin Sugar here for two And a great big bowl to mix them in I'd pour a drink for you, Marianne So fare thee well, my own true love Fare thee well, my dear The ship is sailing and the wind blows free And I am bound away to the sea, Marianne as sung by Mike Cross DS
