| lyric | Farewell to you my own true love,
I am going far far away.
I am bound for California.
And I know that I’ll return some day.
Chorus:
So fare thee well my own true love,
and when I return united we will be.
It’sl not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
but my darling when I think of thee.
I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship,
Davy Crocket is her name,
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she is a floating hell.
Oh the sun is on the harbour love,
And Iwish I could remain,
For I know it will be some long time
Before I see you again. |
