Leaving of
Liverpool
- Fare thee well the Prince's landing stage
River Jersey fare of thee well
I am bound for California
A place I know right well
So fare thee well my own true of
When I return United and we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
- Yes I'm bound for California
By the way of the stormy Cape Horn
But you know I'll write you a letter my love
When I am homeward bound
- I have shipped on a Yankee clipper ship
Davy Crockett he is her name
And her captain's name is Burges
And they say she's a floating shame
- It's my second trip with Burgess in the Crockett
And I reckon to know him well
If a man is a sailor then he'll be all right
But if not why he's sure in hell
- Oh the tug is waiting at the Pier Head
To take us down the stream
Her sales are loose and the anchors stowed
So fare thee well again
- Fare thee well to lower Frederick Street
Anson terrace and the Old Park Lane
For I know that it's going to be a long long time
Before I see you again
