D                 G       D
Farewell the Prince's Landing Stage,
                        A
River Mersey fare thee well,
  D                   G         D
I know t'will be some long long time,
          A   D
Ere I see you again.

[Chorus 1]
   A                  G        D
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                             A
When I return united we will be.
             D                          G       D
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
                      A        D
But my darling when I think on thee.

[Verse 2]
          D                     G      D
Well I've shipped onboard, of a Yankee ship.
                        A
Davy Crockett it is her name.
    D              G          D
And Burgess is the captain of her,
                   A        D
And I hear she's a floating hell.

[Chorus 2]
   A                  G        D
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                             A
When I return united we will be.
             D                          G       D
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
                      A        D
But my darling when I think on thee.

[Verse 3]
         D                   G       D
Well the lot of a sailor, is hard my love,
                    A
Of comfort there is none,
   D                G      D
So I will return to you my love,
                  A        D
When my seafaring days are done.

[Chorus 3]
   A                  G        D
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                             A
When I return united we will be.
             D                          G       D
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
                      A        D
But my darling when I think on thee.

[Verse 4]
         D              G        D
Well the ship is in the rocks my love,
              A
Her anchor is away.
         D              G        D
And it's time for me to leave my love,
              A        D
But I will be back someday.

[Chorus 4]
   A                  G        D
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                             A
When I return united we will be.
             D                          G       D
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
                      A        D
But my darling when I think on thee.

[Chorus 5]
   A                  G        D
So fare thee well, my own true love,
                             A
When I return united we will be.
             D                          G       D
It's not the leaving of Liverpool, that grieves me.
                      A        D
But my darling when I think on thee.
