lyrics

Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for Californayey
A place I know right well

CHORUS:
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'm bound off for California
By the way of stormy Cape Horn
And I'm bound to write you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound

I have signed on a Yankee’s Sailing ship
With Whiskey & porter to sell
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they say she's a floating Hell

I have sailed with Burgess once before
And I think I know him well
If a man's a sailor, he will get along
If not, then he's sure in Hell

Oh the ship is in the harbor, love
And how I wish that I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before I will see you again
