The Leaving of Liverpool

The Dubliners Nr.: 
Farewell to you my own true love, 
I am going far awayI am bound for California 
and I know that`ill return soem day
So fare thee well my own true loveWhen I return united we will beIt's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves meBut my darling when I think of thee

I have sailed on a Yankee clipper ship, 
"Davy Crockett" is her nameAnd is the captain of her`s 
and they say that she's a floating hell


So fare thee well my own true loveWhen I return united we will beIt's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves meBut my darling when I think of thee

I have sailed with Burgess once before, 
I think I know him wellIf a man's a sailor he will get along, 
if not then he's sure in hell

So fare thee well my own true loveWhen I return united we will beIt's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves meBut my darling when I think of thee

SOLO

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 loveWhen I return united we will beIt's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves meBut my darling when I think of thee
