[Farewell to Princes' landing stage River Mersey fare thee well I am bound for California, a place I know right well
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] x2
I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship, "Davy Crockett" is her name And Burgess is the captain of her and they say that she's a floating hell
[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] x2
Oh the sun is on the harbour, love And I wish I could remain For it will be a long, long time Before I burn my pain (?)
[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] x2
