lyrics

THE LEAVING OF LIVERPOOL

Farewell to Princes Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
Cause I am bound for California,
A place I know quite well

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 a Yankee sailing ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they that say she's a floating shame

Oh the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again

We're a folk-duo from the Lower Rhine area in the West of Germany.

These are recordings from our latest album, live recorded and produced by FLF in 2014.
It's mainly containing traditional Irish folk songs and tunes. We did several cover versions of newer songs, too, but these are only included on the physical CD.
