The Leaving of Liverpool |
| Farewell to you, my own true love, |
| I am going far, far away |
| I am bound for California, |
| And I know that I’ll return someday |
| So fare thee well, my own true love, |
| For 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 shipped on a Yankee sailing ship, |
| Davy Crockett is her name, |
| And her Captain’s name was Burgess, |
| And they say that she’s a floating hell |
| So fare thee well, my own true love, |
| For 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 |
| Oh the sun is on the harbour, love, |
| And I wish that I could remain, |
| For I know that it will be a long, long time, |
| Before I see you again |
| So fare thee well, my own true love, |
| For 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 |
