Paroles : Leaving of Liverpool

Farewell to you, my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound to sail the ocean vast
And I know that I'll return someday

So fare thee well my own true love
For 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 am pressed to service on a sailing ship
Though conscription is a life that suits me well
Our captain commands her with a rod of iron
And they say that she's a floating hell

So fare thee well my own true love
For 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

So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
Oh the Sun is in the harbor, love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know it'll be a long, long time
Before I return again

So fare thee well my own true love
For 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

So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
