A            D/A     A        D/A
Oh fare thee well my own true love
A                          E
Fare thee well but for a while
      A      D/A             A    E/G#  F#m
The ship is waitin' an' the wind blows high
    A     D/A    A           D/A
An' I am bound away for the sea,
     A
Mary Ann.

Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze an' the earth may burn
If I never no more return to you,
Mary Ann.

Oh don't you see that crow fly high
She'll surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Let the day turn to night, my dear
Mary Ann.

Oh, if I had a flask of gin an' sugar here for two
An' a great big bowl for to mix it in
I'd pour a drink for you, my dear
Mary Ann
Yes I'd pour a drink for you, my dear
Mary Ann.
