Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage Mersey River, fare thee well well I am bound for California but I know that I'll return someday
Chorus: 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
Oh I have signed on the yankee sailin' ship Davy Crockett is her name And Burgess is the captain of her And they say that she's a floatin' shame
Chorus
Oh I have sailed w/ this Burgess once before And I think that I know him quite well For if a man is a sailor, he can get along If not, he's in a floating Hell
Chorus
The sun is on the harbor, love And I wish that I could be thain Because I know it will be some long long time Before we see you again
