[Verse 1]
Fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well, my dear
The ship is waiting and the wind blows high
And I am bound away to the sea, Marianne
[Verse 2]
Ten thousand miles away from you
Ten thousand miles or more
The earth will burn and the sea will freeze
If nevermore I return to you, Marianne
[Verse 3]
Lobster boiling in the pot
Bluefish on the hook
The suffering long but it's nothing like
The ache I bear for you my dear, Marianne
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Oh, I wish I had a flask of gin
Sugar here for two
And a great big bowl for to mix it in
I'd pour a drink for you my dear, Marianne
[Outro]
And I am bound away to the sea, Marianne
