The Leaving of Liverpool
The Dubliners Nr.: 90
Farewell to you my own true love, I am going far awaySOLO Oh the sun is on a harbour love, and I wish I could remain For I know it will be a long long time Before I 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 theeI am bound for California and I know that`ill return soem day 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 on a Yankee clipper ship, "Davy Crockett" is her name And is the captain of her`s 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
