[Verse]
G C G
So, it's fare thee well, my darling true
D
I'm leaving in the first hour of the morn
G C G
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico
D G
*
Or maybe the coast of Californ
[Chorus]
D C G
So it's fare thee well my own true love
D
We'll meet another day, another time
G C G
*
It ain't the leaving, that's a-grieving me
D G

But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse]
G C G
Oh, the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
D
And the rain she's a-turning into hail
G C G
And I still might strike it lucky on a highway going west
D G
*
But I'm traveling on a path beaten trail
[Chorus]
D C G
So it's fare thee well my own true love
D
We'll meet another day, another time
G C G
*
It ain't the leaving, that's a-grieving me
D G
*
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse]
G C G
I will write you a letter from time to time
D
As I'm rambling you can travel with me too
G C G
With my head, my heart and my hands, my love
D G
*
I will send what I learn back home to you
[Chorus]
D C G
So it's fare thee well my own true love
D
We'll meet another day, another time
G C G
*
It ain't the leaving, that's a-grieving me
D G
*
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Verse]
G C G
I will tell you of the laughter and the troubles
D
Be them somebody else's or my own
G C G
With my hands in my pockets and my coat collar high
D G
*
I will travel or unnoticed and unknown
[Chorus]
D C G
So it's fare thee well my own true love
D
We'll meet another day, another time
G C G
*
It ain't the leaving, that's a-grieving me
D G
*
But my true love who's bound to stay behind
[Outro]
G C G
*
It ain't the leaving, that's a-grieving me
D G

But my true love who's bound to stay behind
