Текст песни: The Leaving of Liverpool + перевод

Farewell to you, my own true love,

I am going far, far away

I am bound for California,

Though I know that I’ll return someday

CHORUS:

So fare thee well, my own true love

When I return united we will be

It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that’s grieving me

But my darling when I think of thee

I am bound on a Yankee sailing ship,

Davy Crockett is her name,

Her Captain’s name is Burgess,

And they say that she’s a floating shame

I have sailed with Burgess once before

I think I know him well

If a man’s a sailor, he will get along

If he’s not, then he’s sure in Hell

Now the sun is on the harbour, love,

I wish I could remain,

For I know that it will be a long, long time,

Before I see you again
