| LEAVING OF LIVERPOOL 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 Chorus: 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 shipped on a Yankee sailing ship Davy Crockett is her name And Burgess is the captain of her And they say she is a floating hell Chorus Oh the sun is on the harbor love And I wish I could remain For I know it will be some long time before I see you again Chorus |
