LEAVING of LIVERPOOL
Farewell the Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for California
A place I know right
well
Chorus
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving
of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
farewell to you my own true love,
I must be going away,
I am bound for California,
but I know that I'll return
some day.
I have signed on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they
say she's a floating Hell
Oh the sun is on the harbor love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long long time
Before I see
you again
