The Leaving of Liverpool ft. Eric Ryan-Johnson Lyrics

So, fare thee well, my own true love

I am going far, far away

I am bound for Californ-eye-aye

And 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 grieves me

But my darling when I think of thee

I have signed on a Yankee sailing ship

"Davy Crockett" is her name

And Burgess is the captain of her

And they say she's a floating shame

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

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

Oh, the sun is on the harbor, love

And I wish that I could remain

For I know it will be such a long, long time

Until 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 grieves me

But my darling when I think of thee

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
