Song language: English
Leaving of Liverpool |
| Farewell to you, my own true love |
| There were many fare thee wells |
| I am bound for California |
| A place I know right well |
| So fare thee well, my own true love |
| When I return united we will be |
| It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that’s grieves me |
| But my darling when I think of thee |
| I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship |
| Davy Crockett is her name |
| And the Captain’s name is Burgess |
| And they say that she’s a floating Hell |
| I have sailed with Burgess once before |
| And I think I know him well |
| If a man’s a sailor, he can get along |
| If not, then he’s sure in Hell |
| Oh the ship is in the harbour, love |
| And I wish I could remain |
| For I know it will be a long, long time |
| Before I see you again |
