Farewell Songtext

Bound for a marriage my father made
To a man who is twice my age
He has a fine estate
Or so I'm told

Yankee clippers on the bay
Have come to take my heart away
Far down to Charleston Town
On Carolina's coast

Old ragamuffin man
Made by my mother's hands
This and some odds and ends
Are all that I own

Bound for a marriage my father made
To a man who is twice my age
He has a fine estate
Or so I'm told
Far from the sea he lives
In the western wilderness
Where the Alabama sun
Will burn me brown

Bound for a marriage my father made
To a man who is twice my age
He has a fine estate
Or so I'm told
