Fiddler's Green - Leaving Of Liverpool lyrics
[Fiddler's Green - Leaving Of Liverpool lyrics]
River Mercy, fare thee well
I am bound for California
A place that I know right well
I am bound on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she's a floating shame
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 darling when I think of thee
I have sailed with Burgess once before
And I think that I know him well
If a man's a sailor he'll get along
But if not then he's sure in hell
Oh, 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 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 darling when I think of thee
It's not the leaving of Liverpool
I'm grieving when I think of you
I miss you, I miss you
The sun is on the harbor love
The ocean with the sky above
It's not the sea that makes me grieve
The tide is high, I have to leave
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 darling when I think of thee
Farewell to you my own true love
I am sailing far, far away
I am bound for California
But I know I'll return some day
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 darling when I think of thee
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 darling when I think of thee
But my darling when I think of thee
