Leaving of Liverpool

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage River Mersey, fare thee well I am bound for 'Californi' It's a place that I know right-well (Chorus) 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 signed on a Yankee Clipper ship 'Davy Crockett' is her name And Burgess is the Captain of her And they say she's a floating shame (Chorus) I have sailed with Burgess once before He's a man I know right-well If a man is a sailor, he can get along And if nothin' he is sure in Hell (Chorus) Now the sun is on the harbour, love And I wish I could remain For I know it will be a long, long time Before I see you again (Here we go!) (Chorus X2)
