The Leaving of Liverpool

from The Good, The Plaid and the Ugly by Kilmaine Saints

/

lyrics

Verse 1
Well fare thee well to you, my own true love
well I’m going far away
I’m bound for California
And I know that I’ll return some day

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

Verse 2
I'm off to California
By way of stormy Cape Horn
And I will send a letter, my love
When I am homeward bound

Chorus

Verse 3
I sail on a Yankee sailing clip
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that she’s a floating hell

Chorus

Verse 4
Oh the sun is on the harbor now
And I wish that I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again

Chorus
