G C G Farewell the Prince's landing stage D River Mersey fare thee well G C G I am bound for California, D G A place I know right well

D C G So fare thee well my own true love, D And when I return, united we will be G C G It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me D G But my darling, it's when I think of thee
[Verse 2]
G C G I'm off to California D By way of the stormy Cape Horn G C G And I will send you a letter, love, D G When I am homeward bound
[Chorus]
D C G So fare thee well my own true love, D And when I return, united we will be G C G It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me D G But my darling, it's when I think of thee
[Verse 3]
G C G I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship, D Davy Crockett is her name G C G And Burgess is the captain of her D G And they say that she's a floating hell
[Chorus]
D C G So fare thee well my own true love, D And when I return, united we will be G C G It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me D G But my darling, it's when I think of thee

G C G I have sailed with Burgess once before D I think I know him well G C G If a man's a sailor he will get along D G If not then he's sure in hell
