Songtext von The Leaving of Liverpool

Farewell thee well, to Princes' landing stage Mersey River, 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 darlin' when I think of thee I boarded the yankee's sailin' 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 darlin' when I think of thee The ship is in the harbor, love And I wish I could remain For I know it will be a long, long time before I will see you again 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 darlin' when I think of thee
