the leaving of liverpool - fisherman's friends lyrics
fair thee well to prince’s landing stage
river mersey, fair thee well
i’m bound for californ*i*a
a place i know right well
so fair 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 californ*i*a
by way of stormy cape h*rn
and i will write to thee a letter ‘a love
when i am homeward bound
so fair 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 have sailed 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 shame
so fair 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 have sailed with burgess once before
i think i know him well
oh, if a man’s a sailor he will get along
but if not, then he’s sure in h*ll
so fair 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
fair thee well, to lower frederick street
anson terrace and park lane
oh, i am bound away for to leave you
i may never see you again
so fair 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
so fair 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
