The Leaving Of Liverpool

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage
 Mersey River, fare thee well
 well I am bound for California
 but I know that I'll return someday
 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
 Oh I have signed on the yankee sailin' ship
 Davy Crockett is her name
 And Burgess is the captain of her
 And they say that she's a floatin shame
 Chorus
 Oh I have sailed w/ this Burgess once before
 And I think that I know him quite well
 For if a man is a sailor, he can get along
 If not, he's in a floating Hell
 Chorus
 The sun is on the harbor, love
 And I wish that I could be thain
 Because I know it will be some long long time
 Before we see you again
