Leaving of Liverpool
Fare you well the Prince’s Landing Stage
River Mersey fare you well
I’m off to California
A place I know right well
Refrein
So fare ye well my own true love,
When l return united we shall be
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of ye.
I’m off to California
By the way of the stormy Horn
And I will send to you a Letter love
When I am homeward bound
Refrein
I’ve shipped on a Yankee clipper ship
Davey Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that she’s a floating hell.
Refrein
The tug is waiting at the pierhead
To take us down the stream
Our sails are loose our anchorcure
So bid you good-bye once more.
Refrein
I’m bound away to leave you
Good-bye my love good-bye
There ain’t but one thing that grieves me
That’s leaving you behind
Refrein
River Mersey fare you well
I’m off to California
A place I know right well
Refrein
So fare ye well my own true love,
When l return united we shall be
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of ye.
I’m off to California

And I will send to you a Letter love
When I am homeward bound

Refrein
I’m bound away to leave you
Good-bye my love good-bye
There ain’t but one thing that grieves me
That’s leaving you behind
