The Leaving of Liverpool - Mr. Hurley & Die Pulveraffen

Fare thee well to you my own true love

There’s been many fare-thee-wells

But I’m bound for California

A place I know right well

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me

But me darling when I think of thee

I am bound on a pirate sailing ship

And the Lightning is her name

And Douglas Blake is the Captan of her

But they say that she’s a floating shame

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me

But me darling when I think of thee

Oh the ship lies in the harbour, love

I wish I could remain

I know it will be a long long time

Before I see you again

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me

But me darling when I think of thee

So fare thee well my own true love

When I return united we will be

It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me

But me darling when I think of thee
