So fare thee well my own true love,
|

|
When I return united we will be,

Its not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,

But my darling when I think of thee.

|
|
|
|
I have slipped on board a Yankee ship
|
|
|
|
|
Davey Crockett is her name,
|
|
|
|
|
And her captain it is Burgees,
|
|
|
|
|
And they say that she's a floating hell.

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
I have sailed with Burgess once before,
|
|
|
|
|
And I think I know him well,
|
|
|
|
|
If a man's a salor he will get along,
|
|
|
|
|
If not then he's sure for hell.

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