W:  Chorus:
W:  So fare thee well, my own true love
W:  When I return united we will be
W:  It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
W:  But my darling when I think of thee
W:
W:I'm bound off for California
W:By the way of stormy Cape Horn
W:And I'm bound to write you a letter, love
W:When I am homeward bound
W:
W:I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship
W:Davy Crockett is her name
W:And Burgess is the Captain of her
W:And they say she's a floating Hell
W:
W:I have shipped with Burgess once before
W:And I think I know him well
W:If a man's a seaman, he can get along
W:If not, then he's sure in Hell
W:
W:Farewell to lower Frederick Street
W:Ensign Terrace and Park Lane
W:For I think it will be a long, long time
W:Before I see you again
W:
W:Oh the sun is on the harbor, love
W:And I wish I could remain
W:For I know it will be a long, long time
W:Till I see you again
