Marianne

[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
