lyrics
Leaving of Liverpool
Oh fare ye well my own true love
For I am sailin' far, far away
Oh I am bound for California
But I know that I'll return some day
Chorus:
So fare ye well, my own true love
And when I return, united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grievin' me
But, my darling, when I think of thee
Oh I set sail on a yankee sailing ship
The Davy Crockett is her name
Old Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she is a floating hell
Well, I have sailed with Burgess once before
He's a man that I know right well
If a man is a pirate, then he'll get along
And if not than he's sure for hell
Oh, the sun is in the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know that it will be a long, long time
Before I can see you again
