Fare- [D] well to you my [G] own true [D] love
I am going far, far [A7] away
I am [D] bound for Cali-[G] forni-[D] ay,
and I know that [A7] I'll return some [D] day

(Chorus:
So [A7] fare thee well my [D] own true love
For when I return united we shall [A7] be
It's not the [D] leavin' of Liverpool that [G] grieves [D] me
But me darlin, [A7] when I think of [D] thee)

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

(Chorus)

Oh, the sun is on the harbor love
and I wish that I could remain
For I know it'll be a long, long time
before I see you again.

(Chorus)

A7 {x02020}
