Archie Noble - The Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics

Farewell to princes landing stage
River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California
It's a place I knows 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's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee

I'm bound for California
By way of the stormy cape horn
And I will send a letter love
When I am homeward bound once more

So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee

I've shipped on board a Yankee ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And I hear she's a floating shame

So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee

Farewell to lower Frederick street
Handsome terrace and Park lane
For it will be some long long time
E'er shall 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's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
