leaving of liverpool
leaving of liverpool:
traditional song
song sample:
lyrics:
Farewell the prince's landing stage
River Mersey fare you well
I'm off to Californ-i-a
A place that I know right well
Chorus:
So fare you 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.
Farewell to lower Fredrick Street
Hanson Terrace and Park Lane
Farewell it will be some long, long time
Before I see you again
I have shipped on a Yankee clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
Burgess is the captain off her
And they say that she is a floating hell.
The tug is waiting at the pier head
To take us down the stream
sails are loose and our anchor secure
I bid you goodbye once more
