storm weather shanty choir - leaving of liverpool (live) lyrics
fare thee well to thee my own true love
i am sailing far away
i am bound for californa-ey
but i know that i’ll return someday
so fare thee well my own true love
and when i return united we will be (oh we will be)
it’s not the leaving of liverpool that grieves me
but me darling when i think of thee
i have sailed aboard a yankee sailing ship
davey crockett was her name
and forgess was the captain of her
and i know she was a big floating ship
so fare thee well my own true love
and when i return united we will be (oh we will be)
it’s not the leaving of liverpool that grieves me
but me darling when i think of thee
well i have sailed with forgess once before
and i think i know him well
if a man’s a sailor he will get along
but if not then he sure’s in h-ll
so fare thee well my own true love
and when i return united we will be (oh we will be)
it’s not the leaving of liverpool that grieves me
but me darling when i think of thee
farewell to thee prince’s landing stage
and st. alice, and church lane
for i know that it will be a long, long time
before i see you again
oh hey!
so fare thee well my own true love
and when i return united we will be (oh we will be)
it’s not the leaving of liverpool that grieves me
but me darling when i think of thee
and again!
so fare thee well my own true love
and when i return united we will be (oh we will be)
it’s not the leaving of liverpool that grieves me
but me darling when i think of thee
