the leaving of liverpool - the scaffold lyrics
fare thee well to you, my own true love
there were many fare thee wells
i am bound for california
a place that i know right well
so fare thee well, my own true love
for 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 on a yankee clipper ship
davy crockett is her name
and her captain’s name it is burgess
and they say that she’s a floating h*ll
so fare thee well, my own true love
for 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’ve sailed with burgess once before
and i think i know him well
if a man’s a sailor he will get along
if he’s not then he’s sure to tell
so fare thee well, my own true love
for 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 the sun is on the harbour, love
and i wish that i could remain
for i know that it will be a long, long time
before i see you again
so fare thee well, my own true love
for 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
