Absolutely Irish movie - The Leaving Of Liverpool lyrics

rate me

Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage<br>

River Mersey, fare thee well<br>

I am bound for California<br>

A place I know right well<br>

<br>

Chorus:<br>

So fare thee well, my own true love<br>

When I return united we will be<br>

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me<br>

But my darling when I think of thee<br>

<br>

I'm bound off for California<br>

By the way of stormy Cape Horn<br>

And I'm bound to write you a letter, love<br>

When I am homeward bound<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>

I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship<br>

Davy Crockett is her name<br>

And Burgess is the Captain of her<br>

And they say she's a floating Hell<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>

I have shipped with Burgess once before<br>

And I think I know him well<br>

If a man's a seaman, he can get along<br>

If not, then he's sure in Hell<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>

Farewell to lower Frederick Street<br>

Ensign Terrace and Park Lane<br>

For I think it will be a long, long time<br>

Before I see you again<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>

Oh the sun is on the harbour, love<br>

And I wish I could remain<br>

For I know it will be a long, long time<br>

Till I see you again<br>

Chorus:<br>

<br>
