Farewell to you my own true love
I am going far away
I am bound for Californ-i-a
But I know that I'll return some day
So fair thee well my own true love
And 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 sailed on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she's a floating hell
So fair thee well my own true love
And 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 harbour love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be some long time
Before I see you again
So fair thee well my own true love
And 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
