The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Farewell to prince's landing stage
River mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for california
It's a place that 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
I have signed on a yankee clipper 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
I have sailed with burgess once before
And hes a man i know right well
If a man is a sailor, he can get along
And if nothin' 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 grieves me
But my darling when i think of thee
Now 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
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
