Shallow Brown

Traditional Folk
Variant 2025

Fare thee well, my Juliana
Shallow, oh, shallow brown
Fare thee well, my Juliana
Shallow, oh, shallow brown

For I’m bound away to leave you
Yes I’m bound away to leave you

Going to ship on board a whaler
Going to ship on board a whaler

And it’s shallow in the morning
Just as the day was dawning

Yes, our packet leaves tomorrow
And it fills me heart with sorrow

For I’m bound away to leave you
But I never will deceive you

O you are me only treasure
And I love ye still full measure

Fare thee well, my Juliana
And it’s goodbye, my Juliana
