A 
D 
But I know that I'll return some day.
A 
G 
So fare thee well, my own true love,
D 
A 
And when I return, united we will be.
D 
Let's not believe in a
G 
blizzard that grieves me,
D 
A 
But, darling, when I think of thee,
D 
G 
I  have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship,
D 
A 
Davy Crockett is her name
D 
G 
D 
And Burgess is the captain of her,
A 
D 
they say that she's a  floating shape
A 
G 
So fare thee well, my own true love,
D 
A 
and when I return united we will be
D 
It's not the leaving of
G 
Liverpool that grieves me,
D 
A 
D 
But the darling when I  think of thee.
It's my third trip with Burgess
G 
D 
on the Cockett,
A 
And I reckons I know him well.
D 
G 
If a man is a seaman, he'll be all right,
D 
A 
D 
And if not, well, then he's sure in hell.
A 
G 
So fare thee well, my own true love,
D 
A 
And when I return, as I said, we will be.
D 
It's not the leaving of
G 
Liverpool that grieves me,
D 
But my darling,
A 
D 
G 
D 
A 
D 
G 
D 
when I think of thee.
A

Tell your son, his honour,
G 
the power of love
D 
A 
And I wish that I could remain
D 
G 
For I know that it will be a long, time
D 
A 
D 
Before I see you again
A 
G 
D 
So fare thee well, my own true love
A 
And when I return, united we will be
