FARE THEE WELL B

Oh It's fare thee well my darlin' true,

I'm leavin' the first hour of the morn'

I'm bound all for the bay of Mexico

Or maybe the coast of Californ'

Chorus:

So it's fare thee well my own true love

We'll meet another place another time

It ain't the leaving, that’s a grieving me

But my true love is bound to stay behind

 

I will tell you of the laughter and the troubles I have known

There somebody else’s or my own

With my hands in my pocket and my coat collar high

I will travel unnoticed and alone

Chorus:

So it's fare thee well..

Oh the weather is against me and the wind it blows hard

The rain is turning in to hail

But I still might strike it lucky on a highway going west

While travelling on a path beaten trail

Chorus:

So it's fare thee well..

I've heard tales of the town and I might as well be bound

It's down around the Mexican way

They say that the people are all friendly there

And all they ask of you is your name

Chorus:

So it's fare thee well..
