Subject: ADD Version: My Dear Mary Ann
Can anyone correct the lyrics to Hamish Imlach's version of Mary Anne?

MARY ANNE

So fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well, my dear
The ship is a-waiting and the wind blows high
And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne
And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne

Yonder don't you see the dove (it's sitting on) (xxx)?
(Lamenting) the loss of her own true love,         
As I do now, for (my) my love Mary Anne
As I do now, for you, my love Mary Anne

(xxx) (I suffer grief and pain)
(xxx) (little while)
(xxx) I go away, I return again
I go ten thousands mile, my love, Mary Anne
I go ten thousands mile, my love, Mary Anne

(The waves) (xxx)
The stars from the sky
(And) I love you more and more
Until the day I die, my love, Mary Anne
Until the day I die, my love, Mary Anne

So fare thee well, my own true love
Fare thee well, my dear
The ship is a-waiting and the wind blows high
And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne
And I am bound away to the sea, Mary Anne
