Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Leaving Of Liverpool lyrics

Fare thee well to Princess landing stage, River Mersey fare thee well I am bound for California, a place I know right well [chorus:] So fare thee well my own true love When I return united we will be, oh we will be It′s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me But my darling when I think of thee I am bound for California by the way of the stormy Cape Horn And I′ll write to you a letter, love, when I am homeward bound [chorus] Once I sailed upon a Yankee clipper ship and "Davey Crockett" was her name And her captain′s name was Jesse Coleman and they say she′s a floating shame [chorus] Oh, I sail again with Jesse Coleman, he′s a man I know quite well And if a man′s a sailor he can get afloat and if not then he′s sure of hell [chorus]
