Farewell to you my own true love
I'm going far away
I am bound for California
But I know that I'll return some day
So fare 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 shipped on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they say she's a floating shame
So fare thee well...
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 fare 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
