C F C
Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage;
A G7
River Mersey, fare thee well.
C F C
I am bound for California,
G7 C
A place I know right well.
G7 F C
So fare thee well, my own true love,
A F G
When I return united we will be.
C F C
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
G7 C
But, my darling, when I think of thee.
I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship,
Davy Crockett is her name;
And Burgess is the Captain of her,
And they say she's a floating shame.
Chorus
I have shipped with Burgess once before
And I think I know him right well.
If a man is a sailor, he can get along,
But if not, then he's surely in Hell.
Chorus
Oh the sun is on the harbour, love,
And I wish I could remain.
For I know it will be some long, long time
Before I see you again.
Chorus
