<< Back to The Dubliners Song List

Version 1

            [Verse 1]
      G                C        G
Farewell the Prince's landing stage
                       D
River Mersey fare thee well
     G             C    G
I am bound for California,
           D         G
A place I know right well


[Chorus]
     D               C        G
So fare thee well my own true love,
                                  D
And when I return, united we will be
             G                         C       G
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                            D        G
But my darling, it's when I think of thee


[Verse 2]
    G          C    G
I'm off to California
                          D
By way of the stormy Cape Horn
    G                 C       G
And I will send you a letter, love,
          D        G
When I am homeward bound


[Chorus]
     D               C        G
So fare thee well my own true love,
                                  D
And when I return, united we will be
             G                         C       G
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                            D        G
But my darling, it's when I think of thee


[Verse 3]
     G                   C       G
I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship,
                     D
Davy Crockett is her name
    G              C          G
And Burgess is the captain of her
                      D        G
And they say she is a floating hell


[Chorus]
     D               C        G
So fare thee well my own true love,
                                  D
And when I return, united we will be
             G                         C       G
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
                            D        G
But my darling, it's when I think of thee


[Verse 4]
       G                   C      G
I have sailed with Burgess once before
                   D
I think I know him well
     G                       C      G
If a man's a sailor he will get along
                 D       G
If not then he's sure in hell
