The Leaving of Liverpool
So, fare thee well, my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound for Californ-eye-aye
And I know that I'll return some day
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
I have signed on a Yankee sailing ship
"Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say 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 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
Oh, the sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know it will be such a long, long time
Until 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
I am going far, far away
I am bound for Californ-eye-aye
And I know that I'll return some day
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
I have signed on a Yankee sailing ship
"Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say 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 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
Oh, the sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know it will be such a long, long time
Until 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
