[B] [E] [B]
Oh, it's fairly [E] well [B] done I'm leaving the first hour [F#] of the morning
[B] I'm bound all for the [E] Bay of [B] Mexico Or maybe [F#] the coast of [B] Calvary
So [F#] it's fairly well [E] My [B] own true love will meet another place [F#] another time
It [B] ain't a leavin' [E] that's a grievin' me [F#] But my true love is bound to stay [B] behind
Oh,
[E] [B] [F#]
[B] [E]
[B] [F#] [B]
the weather is against [E] me And the wind [B] she blows hard
The rain is turnin' [F#] into hail
[B] I still might strike it lucky [E] On the highway [B] goin' west
Or travelin' on [F#] a [B] half-beat trail
So [F#] it's fairly [E] well My [B] own true love will meet another place [F#] another time
[B] It ain't a leavin' [E] that's a grievin' me [F#] But my true love is bound to [B] stay behind
[E] [B] [F#]
[B]
[E] [B] [F#] [B]
I will tell you of the laughter [E] And the troubles [B] I have seen
To be at somebody else's [F#] old [C#] mile
[F#] With [B] my hands in my pockets And [E] my coat [B] collar high
I will travel [F#] on loaded [B] sandals
[F#] Oh, it's fairly well [E] My [B] own true love will meet another place [F#] another time
It [B] ain't a leavin' [E] that's a grievin' me [F#] But my true love is bound to [B] stay behind
I've heard tales of a town [E] And I [B] might as well be bound
It's down around the [F#] Mexican [F#] plain
[B] They say that the people [E] are all [B] friendly there
All they [F#] ask of you [B] is your name
[F#] So it's fairly well [E] My own [B] true love will meet another place another [F#] time
[B] It ain't a leavin' that's [E] a grievin' [F#] me But my true love is bound to stay [B] behind
