The Leaving of Liverpool

A   |       |      |D       |A
Farewell to you my own true love
     |     |D  |A   |E |
I am going far far away
     |A        |   |D   |A
I am bound for California
      |                |E        |A  |
And I know that I’ll return some day

   |E        |       |D       |A
So fare thee well my own true love
         |         |D            |E  |
For when I return united we will be
             |A         |              |D  E   |A
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
       |              |E       |A
But my darling when I think of thee

I have shipped of a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crocket is her name
And her Captain’s name was Burgess
And they say that she’s a floating hell

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