FareweFll The prince's LFanding stFage
River Mersey fair the wG7ell
I am bouFnd for Cal - i - for - nFi - a, F
A place I kG7now right wFell
Chorus:
So faGre you well my oFwn true lFove,
And when I return, united weG will be.
It's not the leavFing of Liverpool that griFeves mFe
But my darling, it's when I thinG7k of theFe
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
