C F C
Fare thee well to you, my own true love,

there were many fare thee wells.
C F C
I am bound for California,

a place that I know right well.
[Chorus]

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,
G C
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.

I sailed with Burgess once before,

If a man's a sailor he will get along,

if he's not then he's sure in Hell.
[Chorus]

So fare the well, my own true love,
G
when I return united we will be.

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,

The ship is in the harbor, love,
G
and you know I can't remain,
C F C
I know it will be a long long time
G C
before I see you again.
[Chorus]
G F C
So fare the well, my own true love,
G
when I return united we will be.

It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,

So fare the well, my own true love,
G
when I return united we will be.
