Fare thee well to you, my own true love,

a place that I know right well.

I am bound on a yankee clipper ship,
GDavy Crockett is her name.
And her captain's name it is Burgess,
G Cand they say that she's a floating Hell.
G F CSo fare the well, my own true love,
when I return united we will be.
C F CIt's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
G Cbut my darling when I think of thee.

I sailed with Burgess once before,
and I think I know him well,
C F CIf a man's a sailor he will get along,
G Cif he's not then he's sure in Hell.
So fare the well, my own true love,
Gwhen I return united we will be.
C F CIt's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
but my darling when I think of thee.
The ship is in the harbor, love,
Gand you know I can't remain,
C F CI know it will be a long long time
before I see you again.
So fare the 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.
So fare the 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
