The Leaving of Liverpool

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage. Mersey River, fare thee well. Well, I am bound for California, but I know that I'll return someday. Chorus: 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, I have signed on the yankee sailin' ship. Davy Crockett is her name. And Burgess is the captain of her, and they say that she's a floatin? shame. Chorus Oh, I have sailed with this Burgess once before, and I think that I know him quite well. For if a man is a sailor, he can get along. If not, he's in a floating Hell Chorus The sun is on the harbor, love. And I wish that I could be thain. Because I know it will be some long, long time before we see you again.
