the leaving of liverpool

Seekers

Farewell to you, my own true love,
I am going far away.
I am bound for Califor-ni-a
And I know that I'll reeturn some day.

So fare thee well, my own true love,
And 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.
But I know it will be some long time
Before I see you again.

So fare thee well, my own true love,
And 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.
