 A place that I know right well

.        C                  F       C
 I have signed on a yankee clipper ship
.                      G
 Davy Crockett is her name
.     C                 F          C
 And Burgess he is the captain of her
.                       G        C
 And they say she is a floating shame


[chorus]
.    G                 F        C
 So fare thee well my own true love
.                               G
 When I return united we shall be
.              C                         F       C
 It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
.                       G        C
 But my darling when I think of thee

.        C                   F      C
 I have sailed with Burgess once before
.                              G
 He's a man that I know right well
.      C                      F    C
 If a man's a sailor he will get along
.                    G       C
 If not, then he is sure in hell


[chorus]
.    G                 F        C
 So fare thee well my own true love
.                               G
 When I return united we shall be
.              C                         F       C
 It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
.                       G        C
 But my darling when I think of thee

.        C             F       C
 Oh the fog is on the harbour love
.                      G
 And I wish I could remain
.       C                 F          C
 For I know it will be a long, long time
.          G        F
 Before I see you again


[chorus]
.    G                 F        C
 So fare thee well my own true love

 When I return united we shall be

 It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me

 But my darling when I think of thee
.    G                 F        C
 So fare thee well my own true love
.                               G
 When I return united we shall be
.              C                         F       C
 It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
.                       G        C
 But my darling when I think of thee
