The Leaving Of Liverpool Paroles

So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee

Now I have signed on the Yankee Sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they say that she's a floating shame

Chorus

Now I have sailed with this Burgess once before
And I think that I know him right well
For if a man is a sailor, he can get along
If not, he's in a floating Hell

Chorus

The sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish that I could remain
Because I know it will be some long, long time
Before we see you again
