Leaving of Liverpool

 

 

 

The Leaving Of Liverpool


Fare thee well to you my own true love, I am going far away
I am bound for California
But I know that I'll return someday


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 darling when I think of thee


I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship Davey Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she's a floating shame

Chorus

I have sailed with the spirred ones before, and think that I know her quite well
for if a man is a sailor he can get a long,
if not he's in a floating 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 will see you again

Chorus
