Lyrics

It’s fare thee well my own true love
It’s fare thee well for a while
For the ship is waiting and the wind blows free
And I’m bound away for the sea, Marianne
I’m bound away for the sea

Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze, and the earth could burn
If I’d never seen you before, Marianne
If I’d never seen you before

Now do you see that crow fly high
It surely would turn to white
If ever I prove false to you
Bright morning would turn to night, Marianne
Bright morning would turn to night

Your company my dearest dear
So pleasant is to me
It makes me think when I’m away
That every day is three Marianne
That every day is three

Wish I wish my heart were glass
Where in you could behold
The secrets of my love is felt
In letters made of gold, Marianne
In letters made of gold

Do you see the grass beneath your feet
Arise and grow again
This love is such a killing game
Do you ever feel the same, Marianne
Do you ever feel that pain
