Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics & Tabs by Paddy Goes To Holyhead
Leaving of Liverpool
guitar chords 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]]
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]]
