Lyrics
Fair thee well to Prince's Landing Stage River Mersey, fair thee well I'm bound for Californ-i-a A place I know right well So fair 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 am bound for Californ-i-a By way of stormy Cape Horn And I will write to thee a letter 'a love When I am homeward bound So fair 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 on a Yankee clipper ship 'Davy Crockett' is her name And Burgess is the captain of her And they say that she's a floating shame So fair 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 I think I know him well Oh, if a man's a sailor he will get along But if not, then he's sure in hell So fair 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 Fair thee well, to Lower Frederick Street Anson Terrace and Park Lane Oh, I am bound away for to leave you I may never see you again So fair 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 fair 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
