Farewell to you my own true love
I am going far, far away
I am bound for California
and I know that I'll return some day.

I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
and her Captain's name was Burgess
and they say that she's a floating hell.

So fare thee well my own true love
for 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.

Oh the sun is on the harbour love
And I wish I could remain
for I know it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again.

So fare thee well...
