The Leaving of Liverpool

Fare thee well to you my own true love I am going far away I am bound for California, but you know that I'll reurn some day 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 sailed 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 shame 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 sailed with Burgess once before, and I think I know him well Now if you're a sailor then you will get along, if you're not then your life is hell 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 Oh the light is on the harbour dock and I wish I could remain Oh you know that it will be a long long time before I see you again So fare thee well my own true love 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 So fare thee well my own true love 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
