Karaoké The Leaving of Liverpool The Dubliners

Farewell to princes' landing stage river Mersey fare thee well

I am bound for California a place I know right well

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 am bound for California by way of stormy Cape Horn

I will write to thee a letter love when I am homeward bound

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 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

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

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

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

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
