[ Featuring Cullen Vance ]
Farewell to Princess landing stage, River Mersey, fare-thee-well
I am bound for California
A place I know right well
So fare-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 signed 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 chain
So fare-thee-well, my own true love
And 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
He's a man that I know ride well
If a man's a sailor, he will get along
If not, then he's sure in hell
So fare-thee-well, my own true love
And 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
Now the sun is on the harbour love
And I wish I could I remain
For I know it will be a long long time
For I see you again
Here we go
So fare-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 fare-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
