Farewell
to you my own true love

I am sailing
far away

I am bound
for California

I know that
I'll return some day

So fare
thee well, my own true love

It's not
the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
5 1
But my darling
when I think of thee
I have
signed on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett
is her name
And Burgess
is the Captain of her
And they
say she's a floating shame
I have
sailed with Burgess once before
And I think
I know him quite well
If a man
is a seaman, he can get along
If not then
he's surely in Hell
Oh the
sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish
I could remain
For I know
it will be a long, long time
Before I
see you again
