[A]
At the [D] princess' [A] landing stage,
River Mary, fare [E] thee well.
I [A] am bound for [D]
[A] California,
A place [E] I [A] know right well.
[E] So fare thee well,
[A] Fare thee well, true love,
When I return, you know, then [E] we will meet.
It's [A] not the leaving of Liverpool that [D] [A] grieves me,
But my darling [E] when I [A] don't leave.
I am bound for [D]
[A] California,
By way of [E] Starmie Cape Harbour.
[A] I will write to thee [D] a [A] letter, love,
When I [E] am [A]
homeward bound.
So [E] fare thee [A] well, my own true love,
When I return, you know, then [E] we will meet.
It's [A] not the leaving of Liverpool that [D] [A] grieves me,
But my darling when [E] I [A] don't leave.
I have ship on a [D] yanky [A] clipper ship,
Davy Crockett is [E] her name.
[A] Dan Burgess is [D] the [A] captain of her,
And they say that [E] she's a [A] floating hell.
[E] So fare thee well, [A] my own true love,
When I return, you know, then [E] we will meet.
It's [A] not the leaving of Liverpool [D] that [A] grieves me,
But my darling [E] when I don't [A] leave.
I have sailed with [D] Burgess once [A] before,
I think I know [E] him well.
[A] If a man's a sailor, [D] he will [A] get along,
If not, then [E] he's [A] sure in hell.
[E] So fare thee well, [A] my own true love,
When I return, you know, [E] then we will meet.
[A] It's not the leaving of [D] Liverpool that [A] grieves me,
But my darling [E] when I don't [A] leave.

Hello, [D]
[A] Frederick Street, Hanson Terrace and [E] Park Lane.
[A] I am bound away for [D] to [A] leave you,
And I'll never [E] see [A] you again.
[E] So fare thee well, my [A] own true love,
When I return, you know, then [E] we will meet.
It's [A] not the leaving of Liverpool [D] that [A] grieves me,
But my darling [E] when I don't [A] leave.
