FareweGll The prince's LCanding stGage
River Mersey fair the wD7ell
I am bouGnd for Cal - i - for - nCi - a, G
A place I kD7now right wGell
Chorus:
So faDre you well my oCwn true lGove,
And when I return, united weD will be.
It's not the leavGing of Liverpool that griCeves mGe
But my darling, it's when I thinD7k of theGe
I'm off to California
By way of the stormy Cape Horn,
And I will send you a letter, love,
When I am homeward bound
I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship,
Davy Crockett is her name,
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say she is a floating hell
I'm bound away to leave you,
Goodbye, my love, goodbye
There ain't but one thing that grieves me,
That's leaving you behind
Oh the sun is on the harbor, love,
And I wish I could remain,
For I know it will be some long time
Before I see you again
