Farewell to Princes Landing State
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for Californ-i-a
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 leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that 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 grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
Oh, the sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before 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 grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
