Song language: English
Leaving Of Liverpool |
| Farewell to Princes' landing stage |
| River Mersey fare thee well |
| 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 grieves me |
| But my darling when I think of thee |
| I have sailed with Burgess once before |
| I think I know him well |
| If a man’s a sailor he will get along |
| If not then he’s sure in hell |
| Farewell to Lower Frederick Street |
| Anson Terrace and Park Lane |
| I am bound away for to leave you |
| And I’ll never see you again |
| I am bound for California |
| By way of stormy Cape Horn |
| And I will write to thee a letter, love |
| When I am homeward bound |
| I’ve shipped on a Yankee clipper ship |
| «Davy Crockett» is her name |
| And Burgess is the captain of her |
| And they say that she’s a floating hell |
