The leaving of Liverpool

  
   
  
       F                Bb       F
1.Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
       F       Dm        C
River Mersey, fare thee well
      F             Bb  F
I am bound for California
    F       C         F
A place I know right well 


Chorus:
    C                 Bb        F
So fare thee well, my own true love
     F          Dm            C
When I return united we will be
              F                            Bb      F
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
        F               C        F
But my darling when I think of thee 


2.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

Chorus:... 

3.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

Chorus:... 

4.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

Chorus:... 

5.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

Chorus:... 

6.Oh the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Till I see you again

Chorus:...
