Pogues – Leaving Of Liverpool Chords

Fare thee well to you, my own true love, there were many fare thee wells.
I am bound for California, a place that I know right well.
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.

I am bound on a yankee clipper ship, Davy Crockett is her name.
And her captain’s name it is Burgess, and they say that she’s a floating Hell.
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.

I sailed with Burgess once before, and I think I know him well,
If a man’s a sailor he will get along, if he’s not then he’s sure in Hell.
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.

The ship is in the harbor, love, and you know I can’t remain,
I know it will be a long long time, 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.
