The Leaving Of Liverpool

Fare thee well to you, my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound for California-ay
And I know that I'll return some day
So fare thee well, my own true love
For 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 sailed on a yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And her captain's name was Burgess
And they say that she's a floating hell
Oh, the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again
