Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Far[F]e t[Csus4]hee well,[C]
lovely Mary,
[F]I'm now [C]going to leave you
To the burning East In[F]dies,
[C]my sad voyage to steer
I know very well [F]my long
[C]absence will grieve you
But my love, I'll return
[F]in [C]the spring of the year
Oh, don't talk of leaving [F]me,
[C]my dearest jewel
No, don't talk of leaving [F]me
[C]here on the shore
For it is your sweet company
[F]that I [C]do desire
I will sigh till I die [F]if [C]I ne 'er
see you [F]more[C]
Don't let my long absence
[F]be a trouble [G]to you, [C]love
Don't let my long ab[F]sence
run sore on your [G]mind
For al[C]though we are parted,
[F]I will still be [C]true -hearted
And my bride, you will be
[F]in the spring [Bb]of t[C]he y[F]ear
[Gsus4][F][C][F][G][C][F][C]
[F][C]
In the dress of a sail[F]or,
I'll go [G]love [F]along [C]with you
You're bright I will be
[F]and no danger I'll [G]fear
And [C]when at the cold
[F]stormy winds [C]are a -blowin'
And we will return
[F]in the spring [Bb]of t[C]he year
Your delicate finger[F]s,
cold [C]cables can't handle
Your neat little feet to [F]the
mast can't go [G]near
Your [C]delicate body,
[F]cold win[C]ds can't endure
Take advice, love and stay
[F]till the [C]spring of the year
[F][C][F][G][C][F][C]
[F][C]
As she stood a -wail[F]in'
the ship [G]set a [C]-sailin'
Tears down her fair [F]cheeks
in torrents did [G]flow
And her [C]lily -white hands
she [F]in sor[Bb]rows [C]ringin'
Cryin', oh, my dear Jew[F]el,
will I ne 'er [Bb]see you [C]mor[F]e[C][F][C][F][C]
[F]Oh cease, lovely Mary,
I'm not [C]going to leave you
I'll not leave you, dear Mary,
in sorrow and fear
I have gold in my pocket,
[F]I have lands and[C] great houses
And my bride, you will [Bb]be
[F]in the [C]spring of the year
[F][C][F]
