Leaving of Liverpool
|
Fare thee well to you my own true love,
For I am bound far away.
I am Bound for Californeyeaye,
But I know I will return again someday.
CHORUS
So fare thee well my own true love,
For when I return united we will be,
It`s not the leaving of Liverpool that greives me,
But me darling when I think of thee.
I have signed on a Yankee sailing ship,
The Davy Crockett was her name,
And Burgess was the captain of that ship
And they say she is a floating shame.
CHORUS
Oh the sun is in the harbour love,
And I wish that I could remain,
For I know that it`sgonna be a longtime now,
Before I willsee you again.
CHORUS
