             Bb                             Eb        Bb

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

       Bb                                                 F
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.

       Bb                                          Eb      Bb
I'm bound, off, for the bay, of Mexico

      Bb                F                     Bb
Or maybe, the coast, of Californ.

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

           Bb                                            F
We'll meet another day, another time.

                    Bb        Eb-Bb                 Eb         Bb
It ain't the leavin',            That's a-grievin' me

              F                                                          Bb
But my true love, who's bound, to stay behind.

Oh the weather, is against me, and the wind, blows hard
And the rain, she's a-turnin', into hail.
I still might strike it lucky, on a highway goin' west,
Though I'm travelin' on a _________, beaten trail.
So it's fare, thee well, my own, true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin',          That's a-grievin' me
But my true love, who's bound, to stay behind.

I will write you a letter, from time, to time,
As I'm ramblin' you can travel with me too.
With my head, my heart, and my hands, my love,
I will send, what I learn, back home to you.
So it's fare, thee well, my own, true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin',         That's a-grievin' me
But my true love, who's bound to stay behind.

I will tell you of the laughter, and of troubles,
Be them some,body else's or my own.
With my hands, in my pockets, and my coat, collar high,
I will travel, unnoticed, and unknown.
So it's fare, thee well, my own, true love,
We'll meet another day, another time.
It ain't the leavin',          That's a-grievin' me
But my true love, who's bound, to stay behind.
