{t:The Leaving Of Liverpool}
{artist:Traditional}

Farew[C]ell to Prince's L[F]anding S[C]tage
River Mersey - fare thee w[G]ell
I am b[C]ound for Calif[F]or-ni-a[C]y
A place that I k[G]now right w[C]ell


{soc}
So f[G]are thee well my o[F]wn true l[C]ove
When I return united we shall b[G]e
It's not the l[C]eaving of Liverpool that g[F]rieves m[C]e
But my darling when I t[G]hink of t[C]hee
{eoc}


I have s[C]igned on a yankee c[F]lipper s[C]hip
Davy Crockett is her n[G]ame
And B[C]urgess he is the c[F]aptain of h[C]er
And they say she is a f[G]loating s[C]hame


{soc}
So f[G]are thee well my o[F]wn true l[C]ove
When I return united we shall b[G]e
It's not the l[C]eaving of Liverpool that g[F]rieves m[C]e
But my darling when I t[G]hink of t[C]hee
{eoc}


I have s[C]ailed with Burgess o[F]nce bef[C]ore
He's a man that I know right w[G]ell
If a m[C]an's a sailor he will g[F]et al[C]ong
If not, then he is s[G]ure in h[C]ell


{soc}
So f[G]are thee well my o[F]wn true l[C]ove
When I return united we shall b[G]e
It's not the l[C]eaving of Liverpool that g[F]rieves m[C]e
But my darling when I t[G]hink of t[C]hee
{eoc}


Oh the f[C]og is on the h[F]arbour l[C]ove
And I wish I could rem[G]ain
For I k[C]now it will be a l[F]ong, long t[C]ime
Before I s[G]ee you ag[F]ain

{soc}
So f[G]are thee well my o[F]wn true l[C]ove
When I return united we shall b[G]e
It's not the l[C]eaving of Liverpool that g[F]rieves m[C]e
But my darling when I t[G]hink of t[C]hee
So f[G]are thee well my o[F]wn true l[C]ove
When I return united we shall b[G]e
It's not the l[C]eaving of Liverpool that g[F]rieves m[C]e
But my darling when I t[G]hink of t[C]hee
