The Dubliners

The Dubliners - The leavin' of Liverpool lyrics

Your rating:

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, when I return united we will be
It's not the leavin' of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee
 
I am bound for Californiae by way of stormy Cape Horn
I will 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 leavin' 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 leavin' of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee

I have sailed with Burgess once before, I think I know him well
If a man's a sailor he will get along, 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 leavin' of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee

Farewell to lower Frederick Street, Ensign Terrace and Park Lane
I am bound away for to leave you and I'll never see you again

So fare thee well, my own true love, when I return united we will be
It's not the leavin' of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee
