[Verse]
FareweCll The prince's LFanding stCage
River Mersey fair the wG7ell
I am boCund for Cal - i - fFor - ni - Ca,
A place I kG7now right wCell
So faGre you well my oFwn true lCove,
And when I return, united we will Gbe.
It's not the leCaving of Liverpool that griFeves mCe
But my darling, it's when I think of tG7hee C
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
