The Leaving Of Liverpool - The Clancy Brothers
Farewell to you my own true love i am going far away
I am bound for california but I know that I'll return some day
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy crockett is her name and burgess is the captain of her
And they say 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's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have been with burgess once before
And I think I know him right well
If a man is a seaman he can get along
But If not he is sure in hell
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
Oh the sun is on the harbour love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be so long time
Before I see you again
So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
