Lyrics:

Leaving of Liverpool (traditional, arr. Gothard Sisters / tune: the Banshee)

Fare thee well to you my own true love
I am sailing far far away
I am bound for California-ay
And I hope that I return someday

CHORUS
So fare thee 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 sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And her captain's name is Burgess
And they say that she's a floating shame

CHORUS

Oh the sun is on the harbor, love
And I wish that I could remain
For I know it will be a long long time
Before I will see you again

CHORUS

CHORUS

Paddy's Green Shamrock Shores (traditional, arr. the Gothard Sisters)

From Derry quay we sailed away on the 23rd of May
We were taken onboard by a pleasant crew
Bound for America

CHORUS
So fare thee well my own true love
I'll think of you night and day
A place in my mind you will surely find
Although I am so far away
And when I'm alone far away from home
I'll think of the good times once more
Until I can make it back someday
To Paddy's green shamrock shores

CHORUS
CHORUS
