[C] [G] [G]
[C]
Farewell, my [F] own true [C] love, I am [Am] going far [G] away.
I [C] am bound for [F] California, [C]
but I know [G] that I'll return
[C] someday.
[G] So fare thee well, my [F] own [C] true love, and when I return, [Am] united we [G] will be.
It's [C] not the leaving of Liverpool [F] that [C] grieves me, but my darling, [G] when I think of [C] thee.
I have sailed on [F] Yankee's [C] sailing ship, Davy Crockett [Am] is [G] her name.
[C] And Burgess is [F] the captain [C] of her, and they say [G] that she's a floating [C] shame.
[G] So fare thee well, my [F] [C] own true love, and when I return, [Am] united [G] we will be.
It's [C] not the leaving of Liverpool [F] that [C] grieves me, but my darling, [Am] when [G] I think [C] of thee.
[G] I have [C] sailed with [F] Burgess [C] once before, and I think I know [G] him right well.
[C]
If a man is a sailor, he [F] can get [C] it, but if not, [G] he is surely [C] in hell.
[G] So fare thee well, [Em] my [F] own [C] true love, and when I return, [Am] united we [G] will be.
It's [C] not the leaving of Liverpool [F] that [C] grieves me, but my darling, [G] when I think [C] of thee.
Oh, the sun is on,
[F] [C] and I wish I could
[G] remain, for [C] I know it will be some [F] [C] long time before I [G] see you
[C] again.
[G] So fare thee well, [F] my [C] own true love, and when I return, [F] united [Dm] we will be.
[G] It's [C] not the leaving of Liverpool [F] that [C] grieves me, but my darling, when [G] I [C] think of [F] thee.
[C] [Ab]
