C                 F       C
Oh it's fare thee well my darlin' true,
                                     G   
I'm leavin' in the first hour of the morn.
 C                    F           C
I'm bound off for the bay of Mexico

[Chorus]
   C         G            C
Or maybe the coast of Californ.
        G                  F        C
So it's fare thee well my own true love, 
            Csus4               G
We'll meet another day, another time.
             C
It ain't the leavin'
         F        C
That's a-grievin' me
       C              G               C
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind.

[Verse 2]
       C                             F          C
Oh the weather is against me and the wind blows hard
                    Csus4         G
And the rain she's a-turnin' into hail.
  C                                F             C
I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west,
                          G
Though I'm travelin' on a path beaten trail.

[Chorus]
        G                 F        C
So it's fare thee well my own true love,
           Csus4   C            G
We'll meet another day, another time.
             C
It ain't the leavin'
         F        C
That's a-grievin' me
       C              G               C
But my darlin' who's bound to stay behind.
