Title: Songs The High Kings should sing.
Post by: celticfan1973 on December 17, 2009, 09:15AM


Leaving of Liverpool Lyrics

Farewell to Prince's Landing Stage
River Mersey, fare thee well
I am bound for California
A place I know right well

Chorus:
So fare thee well, my own true love
When I return united we will be
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that's grieving me
But my darling when I think of thee

I'm bound off for California
By the way of stormy Cape Horn
And I'm bound to write you a letter, love
When I am homeward bound

Chorus:

I have signed on a Yankee Clipper ship
Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess is the Captain of her
And they say she's a floating heck

Chorus:

I have shipped with Burgess once before
And I think I know him well
If a man's a seaman, he can get along
If not, then he's sure in heck

Chorus:

Farewell to lower Frederick Street
Ensign Terrace and Park Lane
For I think it will be a long, long time
Before I see you again

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

Chorus:

I'd love a version of the Star of the County Down by them.

From what I've seen on their website, your wish will be granted. I'd love them to do Dirty Old Town and Christmas in the Trenches.

Leaving of Liverpool and Star of the County Down (which the guys do a great job on) are both on their newest album, Memory Lane, so your wishes are granted. :) I bought the album from amazon.uk and it's really good.  As I Roved Out is my favorite song on it.  The US won't be getting the album until later, so if you want it early, you have to import it.

Garrr... a bit too pricy to import it, and I'd rather have a CD than a mp3 download, so I guess I'll just have to wait.
