Fare Thee Well

Fare thee well my darlin' true
I'm leavin' in the hours of the morn
I'm bound for the bay of Mexico
Or maybe the coast of Californ'

It's fare thee well my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It's not the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind

I'll write you a letter from time to time
While I ramble you can travel with me, too
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
I'll write what I know back home to you

It's fare thee well my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It's not the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind

I'll write you of troubles and of laughter
Be them somebody else's or my own
With my hands in my pocket
And my coat collar high
I will travel unnoticed and unknown

It's fare thee well my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It's not the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
So, it's fare thee well my own true love
We'll meet another day, another time
It's not the leavin'
That's a-grievin' me
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind
