fiddler's green - leaving of liverpool lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
farewell to princes’ landing stage
river mersey fare thee well
i am bound for california
a place that i know right well

i’m bound on a yankee sailing ship
davy crockett is her name
and burgess is the captain of her
and they say she is a floating shame

[chorus]
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

[verse 2]
i have sailed with burgess once before
and i think that i know him well
if a man’s a sailor he’ll get along
but if not then he’d sure be in h-ll

oh the sun is on the harbour, love
and i wish that i could remain
for i know it will be a long, long time
before i see you again

[chorus]
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

it’s not the leaving of liverpool
i’m grieving when i think of you
i miss you, i miss you
the sun is on the harbor, love
the ocean with the sky above
it’s not the sea that makes me grieve
the tide is high, i have to leave

[chorus]
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 you my own true love
i am sailing far, far away
i am bound for california
but i know i’ll return some day

[chorus]
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
but my darling, when i think of thee
