Lyrics:

Farewell to you, my own true love;
I am going far away.
I am bound for Californ-i-a,
And I know that I'll return someday.
So fare thee well, my own true love,
And when I return, united we will be.
It's not the leavin' of Liverpool that grieves me,
But, my darling, when I think of thee.

Oh, the sun is on the harbour now,
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 leavin' of Liverpool that grieves me,
But, my darling, when I think of thee.
