The Leaving Of Liverpool - The Clancy Brothers

Farewell to you my own true love

I am going far away

I am bound for California

But I know that I'll return some day

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's 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 that she's a floating Hell

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieves me

But my darling when I think of thee

I have sailed with Burgess once before

And I think I know him well

If a man's a sailor he can get along

Bur If not then he's 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's grieves me

But my darling when I think of thee

Oh the sun is on harbour love

And I wish I could remain

For I know it will be some 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's grieves me

But my darling when I think of thee

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieves me

But my darling when I think of thee
