Lyrics
Liverpool
Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare well to thee
I am bound for California
It's a place that I know's right well
Chorus:
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 it’s when I think of thee
I'm bound for California
By the way of the stormy Cape Horn
And I will send you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound
Chorus:
I have shipped on board of a Yankee ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain o her
And I hear she's a floating Hell
Chorus:
Farewell to lower Frederick Street
Handsome Terrace and Park Lane
For it will be some long time
Eer I see you again
Chorus:
Oh the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know that it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again
Chorus:
