[Verse 1]
Oh, fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well but for a while
The ship is waiting and the wind blows high
And I am bound away for the sea, Mary Ann
(I am bound away for the sea, Mary Ann)

[Verse 2]
Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze and the earth may burn
If I never no more return to you, Mary Ann
(Never no more return to you, Mary Ann)

[Verse 3]
Oh, don't you see that crow fly high
She'll surely turn to white
If never I prove false to you
Let the day turn to night, my dear, Mary Ann
(Day will turn to night, my dear, Mary Ann)

[Verse 4]
If I had a flask of gin
And sugar here for two
And a great big bowl for to mix it in
I'd pour a drink for you my dear, Mary Ann
(I'd pour a drink for you my dear, Mary Ann)
Yes, I'd pour a drink for you my dear, Mary Ann
