Farewell to you, my own true love;
I am going far away
I am bound for California
But I know that I'll return some day
CHORUS:
So fare thee well, my own true love
And 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 have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship;
"Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she is a floating hell
Oh, the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be some long time
Before I see you again
I am going far away
I am bound for California
But I know that I'll return some day
CHORUS:
So fare thee well, my own true love
And 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 have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship;
"Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she is a floating hell
Oh, the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be some long time
Before I see you again
