The Leaving Of Liverpool - as performed by The Pogues

C F C

Fare thee well to you, my own true love,

G

there were many fare thee wells.

C F C

I am bound for California,

G C

a place that I know right well.

G F C

So fare the well, my own true love,

G

when I return united we will be.

C F C

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,

G C

but my darling when I think of thee.

C F C

I am bound on a yankee clipper ship,

G

Davy Crockett is her name.

C F C

And her captain's name it is Burgess,

G C

and they say that she's a floating Hell.

G F C

So fare the well, my own true love,

G

when I return united we will be.

C F C

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,

G C

but my darling when I think of thee.

C F C

I sailed with Burgess once before,

G

and I think I know him well,

C F C

If a man's a sailor he will get along,

G C

if he's not then he's sure in Hell.

G F C

So fare the well, my own true love,

G

when I return united we will be.

C F C

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,

G C

but my darling when I think of thee.

C F C

The ship is in the harbor, love,

G

and you know I can't remain,

C F C

I know it will be a long long time

G C

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
