Leaving Of Liverpool

Fare thee well to Angels landing stage
River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California
A place I know right well

I am bound for California
By the way of the stormy Cape Horn
And I'll write to you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound

Once I sailed upon a Yankee clipper ship
And "Davey Crockett" was her name
And her captain's name was Jesse Coleman
And they say she's a floating shame

Oh, I sial again with Jesse Coleman
He's a man I know quite well
And if a man's a sailor he can get afloat
And if not then he's sure of hell

So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be, oh we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool
That grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
