Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Leaving Of Liverpool

Leaving Of Liverpool

Fare thee well to Angels landing stage
River Mersey fare thee well
I am bound for California
a place I know right well

I am bound for California
by the way of the stormy Cape Horn
And I´ll write to you a letter, love
when I am homeward bound

Once I sailed upon a Yankee clipper ship
and "Davey Crockett" was her name
And her captain´s name was Jesse Coleman
and they say she´s a floating shame

Oh, I sial again with Jesse Coleman
he´s a man I know quite well
And if a man´s a sailor he can get afloat
and if not then he´s sure of hell

So fare thee well my own true love
When I return united we will be, oh we will be
It´s not the leaving of Liverpool
that grieves me
But my darling when I think of thee
