Farewell to you, my own true love
I'm going far, far away
I'm bound for Cali
For nigh, hey, I know that I'll return someday
So farewell, my own true love
When I return, new nightingale we will be
It's not believing a miracle that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
I've shipped on a Yankee
Clipper ship, Davy Crockett
I heard tell
And Burgess is
The captain of
They say she is a floating hell
So farewell, my own true love
When I return, new nightingale we will be
It's not believing a miracle that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
I'm bound for Cali
For nigh, hey, I know that I'll return someday
So farewell, my own true love
I'm bound for Cali
For nigh, hey, I know that I'll return someday
So farewell, my own true love
When I return, new nightingale we will be




I've shipped on a Yankee
Clipper ship, Davy Crockett
I've shipped on a Yankee
I wish I could remain
But I know it will be
Some long, long time
Before I will see you again
So farewell, my own true love
When I return, new nightingale we will be
It's not the meaning of Liverpool that frees me
But my darling when I think of thee
