Fare the well to you, my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound for California
But I know that I’ll return some day
Farewell to Prince’s Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for California,
A place I know right well
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
I am bound for the Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they that say 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
Me ship is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
But I know it will be a long, long time
Till I see you again
So fare thee well…
