Lyrics

Fare thee well my darlin' true

Farewell to my true beloved

I'm leavin' in the hours of the morn

I'm departing early in the morning

I'm bound for the bay of Mexico

I'm heading towards the Gulf of Mexico

Or maybe the coast of Californ'

Or possibly the California coast


It's fare thee well my own true love

Goodbye to my own true love

We'll meet another day, another time

We'll reunite on another occasion

It's not the leavin'

It's not the act of leaving

That's a-grievin' me

That causes sorrow

But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind

But the pain of my beloved staying behind


I'll write you a letter from time to time

I'll correspond occasionally

While I ramble you can travel with me, too

As I wander, you can journey with me through my letters

With my head, my heart and my hands, my love

Using my thoughts, emotions, and actions

I'll write what I know back home to you

I'll share my experiences with you


It's fare thee well my own true love

Goodbye to my own true love

We'll meet another day, another time

We'll meet again in the future

It's not the leavin'

It's not the act of leaving

That's a-grievin' me

That causes sorrow

But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind

But the pain of my beloved staying behind


I'll write you of troubles and of laughter

I'll inform you about difficulties and joys

Be them somebody else's or my own

Whether they belong to others or myself

With my hands in my pocket

With my hands in my pockets

And my coat collar high

And my coat collar up

I will travel unnoticed and unknown

I'll travel discreetly and anonymously


It's fare thee well my own true love

Goodbye to my own true love

We'll meet another day, another time

We'll meet again in the future

It's not the leavin'

It's not the act of leaving

That's a-grievin' me

That causes sorrow

But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind

But the pain of my beloved staying behind

So, it's fare thee well my own true love

So, goodbye to my own true love

We'll meet another day, another time

We'll meet again in the future

It's not the leavin'

It's not the act of leaving

That's a-grievin' me

That causes sorrow

But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind

But the pain of my beloved staying behind
