The Scaffold – The Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics

Artist: The Scaffold
Song: The Leaving of Liverpool

Fare thee well to you, my own true love
There were many fare thee wells
I am bound for california
A place that i know right well

So fare thee well, my own true love
For 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 on a yankee clipper ship
Davy crockett is her name
And her captain’s name it is burgess
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 grieves me
But my darling when i think of thee

Oh i’ve sailed with burgess once before
And i think i know him well
If a man’s a sailor he will get along
If he’s not then he’s sure to tell

So fare thee well, my own true love
For 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

Oh the sun is on the harbour, love
And i wish that i could remain
For i know that it will be a long, long time
Before i see you 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 grieves me
But my darling when i think of theeyou might also like
