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
