Leaving of Liverpool - The High Kings

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage River Mersey, fare thee well I am bound for 'Californi' It's a place that I know right-well

So fare thee well, my own true love And 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 And 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 He's 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 And 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 And 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
