Lyrics

Farewell to you, my own true love; I am going far away I am bound for California But I know that I'll return some day CHORUS: So fare thee well, my own true love And 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 I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship; "Davy Crockett" is her name And Burgess is the captain of her And they say she is a floating hell Oh, the sun is on the harbour, love And I wish I could remain For I know it will be some long time Before I see you again
