irish rovers - the leaving of liverpool lyrics

Loading...

farewell to prince’s landing stage
river mersey, fare thee well
i am bound for california,
a place i know right well

chorus:
so fare thee well, my own true love
for 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’m bound off for california
by the way of stormy cape h-rn
and i’m bound to write you a letter, love
when i am homeward bound

(chorus)

i have signed on a yankee clipper ship
davy crockett is her name
and burgess is the captain of her
and they that say she’s a floating shame

(chorus)

i have shipped with burgess once before
and i think i know him well
if a man’s a sailor, he can get along
if not, then he’s sure in h-ll

(chorus)

farewell to lower frederick street
ensign terrace and park lane
for i think it will be a long, long time
before i see you again

(chorus)

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

(chorus)
