from the single "Sally MacLennane"
The Leaving Of Liverpool - as performed by The Pogues
FareC thee well to you, my oFwn true lCove,
there were many fare thee wGells.
I amC bound for CalFifornCia,
a place that I Gknow rightC well.
So fGare the well, my oFwn true lCove,
when I return united we willG be.
It'sC not the leaving of Liverpool that grFieves mCe,
but my darling when I thGink of tChee.
I amC bound on a yankee clipFper shCip,
Davy Crockett is her nGame.
And Cher captain's name it is FBurgeCss,
and they say that she's a Gfloating CHell.
So fGare the well, my oFwn true lCove,
when I return united we willG be.
It'sC not the leaving of Liverpool that grFieves mCe,
but my darling when I thGink of tChee.
I saCiled with Burgess Fonce Cbefore,
and I think I know him Gwell,
If aC man's a sailor he will gFet alCong,
if he's not then he's suGre in HCell.
So fGare the well, my oFwn true lCove,
when I return united we willG be.
It'sC not the leaving of Liverpool that grFieves mCe,
but my darling when I thGink of tChee.
The Cship is in the harFbor, lCove,
and you know I can't rGemain,
I kCnow it will be a lFong long Ctime
before I see Gyou agaiCn.
So fare the well, my own true love,
when I return united we will be.
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
but my darling when I think of thee.
So fare the well, my own true love,
when I return united we will be.
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
but my darling when I think of thee
