The Leaving of LiverpoolI am going far away I am bound for California and I know that I'll return some day 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 shipped on a Yankee sailing ship, 'Davy Crockett' is her name And Burgess is the Captain of her and they say that she's a floating hell Chorus The sun is on the harbour love and I wish I could remain For it will be some long time before I see you again 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 (Repeat Last Line) |
