Farewell to you, my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound to sail the ocean vast
And i know that i’ll return someday
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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 pressed to service on a sailing ship
Though conscription is a life that suits me well
Our captain commands her with a rod of iron
And they say that she’s a floating hell
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
Oh the sun is in the harbor, love
And i wish that i could remain
For i know it’ll be a long, long time
Before i return again
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
So fare thee well my own true love
For 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
