DGD
Farewell the Prince's Landing Stage,
A
River Mersey fare thee well,
DGD
I know t'will be some long long time,
AD
Ere I see you again.
[Chorus 1]
AGD
So fare thee well, my own true love,
A
When I return united we will be.
DGD
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
AD
But my darling when I think on thee.
[Verse 2]
DGD
Well I've shipped onboard, of a Yankee ship.
A
Davy Crockett it is her name.
DGD
And Burgess is the captain of her,
AD
And I hear she's a floating hell.
[Chorus 2]
AGD
So fare thee well, my own true love,
A
When I return united we will be.
DGD
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
AD
But my darling when I think on thee.
[Verse 3]
DGD
Well the lot of a sailor, is hard my love,
A
Of comfort there is none,
DGD
So I will return to you my love,
AD
When my seafaring days are done.
[Chorus 3]
AGD
So fare thee well, my own true love,
A
When I return united we will be.
DGD
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
AD
But my darling when I think on thee.

Well the ship is in the rocks my love,

Her anchor is away.

But I will be back someday.
[Chorus 4]
AGD
So fare thee well, my own true love,
A
When I return united we will be.

It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.

But my darling when I think on thee.
[Chorus 5]

So fare thee well, my own true love,
A
When I return united we will be.

But my darling when I think on thee.
