Leaving of Liverpool lyrics
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)
