Farewell to Prince`s Landing Stage river
Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for Californiae a place
I know right well
So fare thee well my own true love
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 am bound for Californiae
by way of stormy Cape Horn
And I`ll write to thee a letter love
when I am homeward bound
So fare thee well my own true love
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 Clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
and they say that she`s a floating hell
So fare thee well my own true love
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 been with Burgess once before
I think I know him well
If a man`s a seaman he cat get along
but if not then he`s sure in hell
So fare thee well my own true love
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 am bound away to leave you
goodby my love farewell
For I know it will be some long time
before I see you again
So fare thee well my own true love
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 Frederick Street
Ensign Terrace and Park Lane
For I know it will be some long time
before I see you again
So fare thee well my own true love
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
