The Leaving of Liverpool - Tommy Fleming
Farewell to you my own true love
I am going far away
I am bound for california
And I know that I'll return some day
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 her Captain's name was Burgess
And they say that she's a floating hell
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
Oh the sun is on the harbor love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know that it will be a long long time
Before I see you again
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
