The Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics by The Apex Singers

Stravaig

2022

Farewell to Princess landing stage
River Mersey, fare-thee-well
I am bound for California
A place I know right well
I have shipped on a Yankee clipper 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, 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
So fare-thee-well, my own true lovе
And when I return, united wе will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
Do do do do
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
Farewell to Lower Frederick Street
Anson Terrace and Park Lane
For I think it will be a long, long time
Before I'll see you again
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
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
