Fare-thee-well (my Own True Love) Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage 

River Mersey, fare thee well 

I am bound for California 

A place I know right well 

So fare thee well, my own true love 

When I return united we will be 

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me 

But my darling when I think of thee 

I'm bound off for California 

And I'm bound to write you a letter, love 

When I am homeward bound

I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship 

Davy Crockett is her name 

And Burgess is the Captain of her 

And they say she's a floating Hell 

I have shipped with Burgess once before 

And I think I know him well 

If a man's a seaman, he can get along 

If not, then he's sure in Hell 

Farewell to lower Frederick Street 

Ensign Terrace and Park Lane 

For I think it will be a long, long time 

Before I see you again 

Oh the sun is on the harbor, love 

And I wish I could remain 

For I know it will be a long, long time 

Till I see you again
