***THE LEAVING OF LIVERPOOL - trad. Arr. by The Pogues from the single "Sally MacLennane" The Leaving Of Liverpool - as performed by The Pogues Fare thee well to you, my own true love, there were many fare thee wells. I am bound for California, a place that I know right well. So fare the well, my own true love, when I return united we will be. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee. I am bound on a yankee clipper ship, Davy Crockett is her name. And her captain's name it is Burgess, and they say that she's a floating Hell. So fare the well, my own true love, when I return united we will be. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee. I sailed with Burgess once before, and I think I know him well, If a man's a sailor he will get along, if he's not then he's sure in Hell. So fare the well, my own true love, when I return united we will be. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee. The ship is in the harbor, love, and you know I can't remain, I know it will be a long long time before I see you again. So fare the well, my own true love, when I return united we will be. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee. So fare the well, my own true love, when I return united we will be. It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me, but my darling when I think of thee
