Kate MacLeod - Come Fare Away With Me

"Come Fare Away With Me"
Jean Ritchie, Geordie Music Publishing (ASCAP)
All lyrics clean 3:16

Bright is the morning and brisk is the weather
Steady the wind o’er the sweet singing sea
Proudly the tall ship a’rides in the harbor
Come fare away with me
CHORUS
Marnie, come fare away
Come fare away with me
There’s an island of dreams
Over the rolling sea
Sails at the ready, she’s bound for Newfoundland Hasten my darling and do not delay
Trees tall and green there and fish by the millions
Come fare away with me
CHORUS
Leave your belongings for things do but bind us Hemmed in the life here, it won’t do for me
Fretting and troubles, we’ll leave them behind us There is a land that’s free
Lace on your stout shoes of good Highland leather
Bring your warm shawl and a cup for the tea
There’ll be a new life, we’ll build it together
Come fare away with me
CHORUS - 2X
