LEAVING OF LIVERPOOL - Unknown

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
for I'm going to California
That land that I know quite well

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 scow
with whiskey for to sell
And Burgess he is the Captain of her
I hear that she's a floating Hell

Chorus

Chorus

The sun is on 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

Chorus

Chorus

The sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, LONG, long, LONG, long long long long time
before I will see you again

Chorus
