Leaving Of Liverpool |
| Fare thee well to Prince’s Landing Stage |
| River Mersey, fare thee well |
| I am bound for 'Californi' |
| It’s a place that I know right-well |
| (Chorus) |
| So fare thee well, my own true love |
| And 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 signed on a Yankee Clipper ship |
| 'Davy Crockett' is her name |
| And Burgess is the Captain of her |
| And they say she’s a floating shame |
| (Chorus) |
| I have sailed with Burgess once before |
| He’s a man I know right-well |
| If a man is a sailor, he can get along |
| And if nothin' he is sure in Hell |
| (Chorus) |
| Now the sun is on the harbour, love |
| And I wish I could remain |
| For I know it will be a long, long time |
| Before I see you again |
| (Here we go!) |
| (Chorus X2) |
