the prince's landing stage
River Mercy, fare you well
A place that I know right well
So fare you well, my own true love
When I return, united we will be
Liverpool that grieves me
But my darlin' when I think of thee
Farewell to Lower Fredericks Street,
Farewell, it will be some long, long time
So fare you well, my own true love
When I return, united we will be
Liverpool that grieves me
But my darling, when I think of thee
I've shipped on a Yankee clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
Burgess is the captain of her
and they say that she's a floating helm
So fare you well, my own true love
When I return, united we will be
Liverpool that grieves me
But, darling, when I think of thee
My tug is waiting at the pier head
To take us down the stream
The sails are loose and our anchor's secure
I'll bid you goodbye once more
So fare you well, my own true love,
When I return, united we will be.
Liverpool that grieves me,
But my darling, when I think of thee.
So fare you well, my own true love
When I return, united we will be
Liverpool that grieves me
But, darling, when I think of thee
