The Leaving of Liverpool Luke Kelly (Ft. The Dubliners)

Farewell to Princes' landing stage
River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California
A place I know right well

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

I am bound for California
By way of the stormy Cape Horn
And I'll write to you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound

So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united wе will be
It's not the leaving of Livеrpool that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee

I have shipped on a Yankee clipper ship
"Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that she's a floating hell

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
