The Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics

Farewell to you my own true love
I am sailing far away
I am bound for California
But I know that I'll return some day
So farewell my own true love
For when I return uniten we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when think of thee

I have shiped on a yankee sailing ship
Davy Crocket is her name
And her captains name is Burgees
And they say she is a floating hell
So farewell my own true love
For when I return uniten we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when think of thee

The sun lies on the harbour love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it shall be
Such a long long time
Before I hold you again
So farewell my own true love
For when I return uniten we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when think of thee

So farewell my own true love
For when I return uniten we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when think of thee
