Lyrics Fare Thee Well, Annabelle - The Boswell Sisters

There's a locomotive puffin' at the station
Fare thee well, Annabelle
And I know you need a little consolation
Fare thee well, Annabelle

When you feel that you're out in the rain
(When you feel that you're out in the rain)
Think of me on that train, oh train
Cold observation car
Looking for you in the dark
I'm looking for you, but it's all in vain

I'll send a telegram from every station
Fare thee well, Annabelle
If your family wants a little information
Say that I'm doing swell

And when I come back
With a pocketful full of jack
You'll have something grand to tell
Cause I'll take you on a honeymoon vacation
Fare thee well, Annabelle

Over the river, cheerio my dear
(Over the river, cheerio my dear)
Is where my journey starts
I'm leaving my heart of hearts
Over that river, my darling, here I go
(Over the river, here I go)

Don't you cry my melancholy baby
(Don't you moan)
Honey don't cry, kiss me goodbye
I'll be seeing you, by and by

There's a locomotive puffin' at the station
Baby, can't you hear the bell
I know you need a little consolation
Fare thee well, Annabelle

I'll wire you from every station
Soon as the train pulls out
Full of information
For all your little friends in doubt, oh

When you get to feeling that you're out in the rain
I'll tell you what to do
Just think of me honey, on a Pullman train
Thinking of nobody but sweet little you

Now the locomotive's leaving the station
Listen to them ringing a bell
I'll be thinking about you
Every minute, Annabelle

I'm leaving
Honey, I'm leaving
I'm leaving you
My sweet Annabelle

Fare thee well, my Annabelle (I'm going)
Fare thee well, my Annabelle
Fare thee well, my Annabelle
Be well, my pretty little Annabelle
