The Leaving Of Liverpool lyrics
Farewell to you, my own true love
I am going far, 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 Captain's name was Burgess
And they say that she's a floating hell
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 harbor, love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know that it will be a long, long time
Before I 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
Farewell to you, my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound for California
