The Young Dubliners - The Leaving of Liverpool

The Young Dubliners cover of the song "The Leaving of Liverpool."

From the album With All Due Respect.

Enjoy, gentlemen, ladies.

--Lyrics--

Farewell thee well, to Princes' landing stage
Mersey River, fare thee well
I am bound for California, a place I know right 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 darlin' when I think of thee

I boarded the yankee's sailin' ship, "Davy Crockett" is her name
And Burgess is the captain of her,
and they say that she's a floating hell
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 darlin' when I think of thee

The ship is in the harbor, love
And I wish I could remain
For I know it will be a long, long time before I will see you again

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 darlin' when I think of thee

An Awsome Cover! I love Orginell version but they have done this song mush better! I love it!

[BarbaricGoose]

I'd have to agree. I think this is a song that sounds better faster, and with that rock edge to it.

As good as the original is, I'd say this one tops it.

Really do hope the Young Dubs come out with another cover album. Would love to hear Seven Drunken Nights, or All me Grog.
