The Leaving of Liverpool
Fare thee well to you my own true love
There's been many fare-thee-wells
But I'm bound for California
A place I know right well
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 me darling when I think of thee
I am bound on a pirate sailing ship
And the Lightning is her name
And Douglas Blake is the Captan of her
But they say that she's a floating shame
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 me darling when I think of thee
Oh the ship lies in the harbour, love
I wish I could remain
I know 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 me 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 me darling when I think of thee
There's been many fare-thee-wells
But I'm bound for California
A place I know right well
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 me darling when I think of thee
I am bound on a pirate sailing ship
And the Lightning is her name
And Douglas Blake is the Captan of her
But they say that she's a floating shame
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 me darling when I think of thee
Oh the ship lies in the harbour, love
I wish I could remain
I know 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 me 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 me darling when I think of thee
