• The Leaving Of Liverpool (Trad. Irish Folk)

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage
Mersey River, fare thee well
I am bound for California
but I know that I'll return someday
(It's a place that I know right well)

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


(I'm bound off for California
By the way of stormy Cape Horn
And I'm bound to write you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound)


Oh I have signed on on the yankee sailin' ship (a yankee clipper ship)
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that she's a floating shame

Chorus

Oh I have sailed with 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, then he's sure in hell

Chorus

The sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish that I could remain
Because I know it will be a long long time
Before I see you again

Chorus

(Farewell to Lower Frederick's Street,
Anson Terrace and Park Lane;
For I think it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again.)

Chorus

(Oh the tug is waiting at the Pier Head
To take us down the stream
Her sales are loose and the anchors stowed
So fare thee well again)

Chorus:
