The Leaving of Liverpool

The Leaving of Liverpool - Various Artists

Farewell to you my own true love

I am going far away

I am bound for California

And I know that I'll return someday

So fare thee well my own true love

For 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 her bord is mine Captain not her

And they say that she's a floating hell

So fare thee well my own true love

For 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 harbour love

And I wish that I could remain

But I know that it will be a long time

Before I ever see you again

So fare thee well my own true love

For 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

But my darling when I think of thee
