Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
|
River Mersey, 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's grieving me
|
But my darling when I think of thee
|
|
I'm bound off for California
|
By the way of stormy Cape Horn
|
And I'm bound to write you a letter, love
|
When I am homeward bound
|
|
I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship
|
Davy Crockett is her name
|
And Burgess is the Captain of her
|
And they say she's a floating Hell
|
|
I have shipped with Burgess once before
|
And I think I know him well
|
If a man's a seaman, he can get along
|
If not, then he's sure in Hell
|
|
Farewell to lower Frederick Street
|
Ensign Terrace and Park Lane
|
For I think it will be a long, long time
|
Before I see you again
|
|
Oh the sun is on the harbor, love
|
And I wish I could remain
|
For I know it will be a long, long time
|
Till I see you again
|
|
