W:(Chorus)
W:So fare three well, my own true love,
W:And when I return, united we will be.
W:It's not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me,
W:But my darling when I think of thee.

W:Well, I'm bound for California
W:By way of the stormy Cape Horn,
W:But you know I'll write to you a letter my love,
W:When I am homeward bound.
W:
W:I have shipped on a Yankee clipper ship,
W:Davy Crockett is her name.
W:And Burgess is the captain of her,
W:And they say she's a floating shame.
W:
W:Fare the well to Lower Frederick Street,
W:Anson Terrace and old Parkee Lane.
W:For I know it will be some long, long time
W:Before I see you again.
