the longest johns – the leaving of liverpool lyrics

Loading...

[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 1]
fare thee well to princess landing stage
river mersey, fare thee well
i am bound for california
a place that i know right well

[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]
oh i’m bound to california
by way of stormy cape h+rn
and i’ll write to you a letter, love
when i am homeward bound

[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 3]
i am bound on a yankee clipper ship
davy crockett is her name
and the captain’s name is burgess
and they say she’s a floatin’ h+ll

[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 4]
so farewell to lower frederick street
anson terrace, and park lane
i think 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

[instrumental interlude]
[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
but my darling, when i think of thee
