Leaving of Liverpool |
Farewell to Princes' landing stage |
River Mersey fare thee well |
I am bound for California |
A place that I know right well |
I’m bound on a Yankee sailing ship |
Davy Crockett is her name |
And Burgess is the captain of her |
And they say she is a floating shame |
So fare thee well my own true love |
When I return, united we will be |
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me |
But my darling, when I think of thee |
I have sailed with Burgess once before |
And I think that I know him well |
If a man’s a sailor he’ll get along |
But if not then he’d sure be in hell |
Oh the sun is on the harbour, love |
And I wish that I could remain |
For I know it will be a long, long time |
Before I see you again |
So fare thee well my own true love |
When I return, united we will be |
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me |
But my darling, when I think of thee |
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool |
I’m grieving when I think of you |
I miss you, I miss you |
The sun is on the harbor, love |
The ocean with the sky above |
It’s not the sea that makes me grieve |
The tide is high, I have to leave |
So fare thee well my own true love |
When I return, united we will be |
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me |
But my darling, when I think of thee |
Farewell to you my own true love |
I am sailing far, far away |
I am bound for California |
But I know I’ll return some day |
So fare thee well my own true love |
When I return, united we will be |
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me |
But my darling, when I think of thee |
So fare thee well my own true love |
When I return, united we will be |
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me |
But my darling, when I think of thee |
But my darling, when I think of thee |
