The Leaving of Liverpool - The Good Intentions

Farewell to princess landing stage

River Mersey fare-thee-well

For I am bound for California

It's a place that 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 my darling

When I think of thee

I am bound for California

By the way of well cape horn

That you know I write to you a letter my love

When I am homeward-bound

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 my darling

When I think of thee

But for now fare-well to the one I love

This sailor he must drown

Far I to see that guided by the stars above

To defines own way back home

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 my 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 my darling

When I think of thee

Oh my darling

When I think on thee
