Lyrics:

Farewell to you, my own true love
I am going far away
I am bound for California
And I know that I'll return 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 harbor 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
