The Dubliners — The Leaving Of Liverpool

Farewell to Princes' landing stage River Mersey fare thee well I am bound for California A place I know 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 grieves me But my darling when I think of thee I have sailed with Burgess once before I think I know him well If a man's a sailor he will get along If not then he's sure in hell (Chorus) Farewell to Lower Frederick Street Anson Terrace and Park Lane I am bound away for to leave you And I'll never see you again (Chorus) I am bound for California By way of stormy Cape Horn And I will write to thee a letter, love When I am homeward bound (Chorus) I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship "Davy Crockett" is her name And Burgess is the captain of her And they say that she's a floating hell (Chorus)
