Leaving of Liverpool - James Brennan (Gaelic Storm cover)

Gaelic Storm put a fun twist on this traditional tune and their version is the one I enjoy most! The song is faster than usual and makes the chorus even more fun to sing along with!

𝓛𝓮𝓪𝓿𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓸𝓯 𝓛𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓹𝓸𝓸𝓵 (arranged by: Gaelic Storm)

Fare thee well to Prince's Landing Stage.
Mersey River, fare thee well.
Well, I am bound for California,
But I know that I'll return someday.

So fare thee well, my own true love.
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.

I have signed on the Yankee sailin' ship.
Davy Crockett is her name.
And Burgess is the captain of her,
And they say that she's a floatin' shame.

So fare thee well...

I have sailed with this Burgess once before.
I think that I know him quite well.
For if a man is a sailor, he can get along.
If not, he's in a floating hell!

So fare thee well...

The sun is on the harbor, love.
And I wish that I could remain.
Because I know it will be some long, long time,
Before we see you again.

So fare thee well...
