Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage


Mersey River, fare thee well


Well I am bound for California


But I know that I'll return someday


Chorus:


So fare thee 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


Oh I have signed on the yankee sailin' ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her
And they say that she's a floatin' shame

Chorus

Oh I have sailed w/ this Burgess once before
And I think that I know him quite well
For if a man is a sailor, he can get along
If not, he's in a floating Hell

Chorus

The sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish that I could be thain
Because I know it will be some long long time
Before we see you again
