Mary Ann

Traditional

(Official lyrics @ www.bobdylan.com)

  New Morning recording session 3, Columbia Studios, NYC - 2.jun.1970  

Oh fare thee well my own true love
Fare thee well but for a while
The ship is waitin' an' the wind blows high
An' i am bound away for the sea, Mary Ann.

Ten thousand miles away from home
Ten thousand miles or more
The sea may freeze an' the earth may burn
If i never no more return to you, Mary Ann.

Oh don't you see that crow that flies high
She'll surely turn to white
If i ever prove false to you
Let the day turn to night, my dear Mary Ann.

If i had a flask of gin an' sugar here for two
An' a great big bowl for to mix it in
I'd pour a drink for you, my dear Mary Ann
Yes i'd pour a drink for you, my dear Mary Ann.
