Katie's Randy Cat - Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics

Farewell to you my own true love
I'm going far, far away
I am bound for California
But I know I will return some day
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
I'm bound for California
By the way of stormy Cape Horn
And I'm bound to write you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound
Yeah, so fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of that dreadful wreck
And they say that she's a floating shame
Yeah, so fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
I have shipped with Burgess once before
And I think I know him well
If a man's a seaman, he can get along
If not, then he is sure in Hell
Yeah, so fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
Oh the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
'Til I see you again
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
Farewell to you my own true love
I'm going far, far away
I am bound for California
But I know I will return some day
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return together we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee
But my darling when I think of thee
