Children are people who live in a land
Made of raindrops and puddles and pebbles and streams
Silently watching a twig as it sails
On a clear crystal pool to an island of dreams
There go a pair who have just built a city of mud
And it's real
They know that mud doesn't look very pretty
But ooh, how it feels
This little boy greets the snow with a smile
That little girl has discovered an isle made out of pillows
One little fellow is friends with the wind in the willows
All of them children and all are mysterious people
I can remember when I was a boy
That my bed was a ship that I sailed through the night
And I remember the world as a place
That was eager and loving and shiny and bright
Where is the boy who was friends with the rainbow
And once rode upon
Where is that shy and mysterious person
Oh where have I gone
I can remember I once said my prayers
But now I stand by while my children say theirs
Watching them kneeling
And I could cry that one day they'll forget
All that they're feeling
Oh, what a shame that our children should grow into peo... ple
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
"The Carnival Is Over"
Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone
High above the dawn is waiting
And my tears are falling rain
For the carnival is over
We may never meet again
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Like a drum, my heart was beating
And your kiss was sweet as wine
But the joys of love are fleeting
For Pierrot and Columbine
Now the harbour light is calling
This will be our last goodbye
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Though the carnival is over
I will love you till I die
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
.........................................
Of the new day.
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worries on the doorstep
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear the pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be complete
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with my blues on parade
But I'm not afraid, this rover's crossed over
If I never had a cent
I'd be rich as rockefeller
Gold dust at my feet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade with them blues on parade
Now I'm not afraid, this rover has crossed over
Now if I never made one cent
I'll still be rich as rockefeller
There will be goldust at my feet
On the sunny
On the sunny, sunny side of the street
Island of Dreams
I wandered the streets and the gay crowded places
Trying to forget you but somehow it seems
My thoughts ever stray to our last sweet embraces
Over the sea on the island of dreams
High in the sky is the bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander where memories infold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
High in the sky is the bird on the wing
Please carry me with you
Far far away from the mad rushing crowd
Please carry me with you
Again I would wander where memories infold me
There on the beautiful island of dreams
Far far away on the island of dreams
Come the Day
I know that one day soon a song shall rise;
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes,
You'll waken to a brand new day,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
A time when every man will be as one,
A time to reach right out and touch the sun,
Come the day.
Freedom's still a thought within your mind,
The fleeting thing that some may never find,
It may be still a million miles away,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
A time to live without doubt or fear,
Welcome to the happy world that will be here
Come the day.
The trumpets of war will cease to blow
The sound I hope that we may never know
We're waiting for the day,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
Lift up your voices and sing this song,
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?
As long as I have music
When the world seems for beyond me,
and I have no place to go.
When my life seems cold and empty,
and I feel I'm all alone.
Then a song that I remember
helps to ease my troubled mind,
and I find the strength within me
to reach out just one more time.
For as long as I have music,
as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my may, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
When the road is dark and lonely
and I feel I want to cry.
When the dreams I keep inside me
seem to fade and almost die.
Then I call upon my music,
and it helps to dry me tears.
And I know that I can make it.
I'll go on despite my fears.
For as long as I have music,
as long as there's a song for me to sing,
I can find my may, I can see a brighter day.
The music in my life will set my spirit free.
What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine.
And she was right,
This love of mine,
My Valentine
As days and nights,
Would pass me by
I tell myself that i was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared,
A love so fine,
My Valentine
And I will love her for life
And I will never let a day go by
Without remembering the reasons why
She makes me certain
That i can fly
And so I do,
Without a care
I know that someday soon the sun is gonna shine
And she'll be there
This love of mine
My Valentine
What if it rained?
We didn't care.
She said that someday soon
The sun was gonna shine
And she was right
This love of mine,
My Valentine
Kentucky Woman
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
We dated through high school
And when the big day came
I wrote into your book
Next to my name
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
Good luck may God bless you"
Is that your little girl
She looks a lot like you
Someday some boy will write
In her book, too
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
I can't seem to get my sleep now any old night,
Mr Sandman passes by my door;
Life has changed since you've been there to say it's alright,
You taught me to understand what I thought couldn't be,
Don't mind missing sleep if I can see:
Colours of my life,
You've got love to fill my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours blend with love to show I'm happy with you,
I can never be the same again;
Now my eyes are looking past the life that I knew,
I'll be shedding black and grey to take on red and blue,
Colours I can feel by touching you:
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Colours of my life,
Bloom like flowers in my heart;
I don't need a rainbow
With colours of my life,
Colours of my life,
Colours of my life.
Flying Free
There is a place I call my own
Where I can stand by the sea
And look beyond the things I've known
And dream that I might be free.
Like the bird above the trees
Gliding gently on the breeze
I wish that all my life I'd be
Without a care and Flying Free.
But life is not a distant sky
Without a cloud, without rain
And I can never hope that I
Can travel on without pain
Time goes swiftly on its way
All too soon we've lost today
I cannot wait for skies of blue
Or dream so long that life is through
So life's a song I must sing
A gift of love I must share
And when I see the joy it brings
My spirits soar through the air
Like that bird up in the sky
Life has taught me how to fly
For now I know what I can be
And now my heart is Flying Free!
God on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven blessed
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die, one by one
How soon they fly, on and on
And I am old and will be gone
Bring him peace, bring him joy
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home
The music of the Night
Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation.
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.
Silently the senses abandon their defences...
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it tremulous and tender.
Turn your face away from the garish light of day,
Turn your face away from cold, unfeeling light -
and listen to the music of the night...
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before.
Softly, deftly, music shall caress you.
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you.
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind,
in this darkness which you know you cannot fight
the darkness of the music of the night.
Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world!
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me.
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation!
Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in,
To the harmony which dreams alone can write,
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight,
Help me make the music of the night.
I'll wager a hat full of guineas
Against all the songs you can sing,
That some day you'll love,
And the next day you'll lose,
And winter will turn into spring.
And the snow falls, the wind calls,
The year turns round again.
And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave,
A new year will rise up again.
And there will come a time of great plenty,
A time of good harvest and sun.
Till then put your trust in tomorrow, my friend,
For yesterday's over and done.
Ploughed, sown, reaped, and mown:
The year turns round again.
And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave
A new year will rise up again.
Phoebe arise, a gleam in her eyes,
And the year turns round again.
And like Barleycorn who rose from the grave,
A new year will rise up again.
Let it be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer
Let it be
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow
Let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be

The Water Is Wide
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
A ship there is and sails the sea
She's loaded deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I'm in
And I know not how I sink or swim
When love is young and love is fine
It's like a gem when first it's new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
The water is wide I can't cross o'er
Nor do I have light wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
They were summoned from the hillside,
They were called in from the glen,
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men
Let no tears add to their hardships
As the soldiers pass along,
And although your heart is breaking,
Make it sing this cheery song:
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.
Overseas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress."
And we gave our glorious laddies—
Honour made us do no less
For no gallant son of Freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of "Friend".
Keep the Home Fires Burning,
While your hearts are yearning.
Though your lads are far away
They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come home.
Lullaby of Broadway
Come and meet those dancing feet
On the avenue I’m taking you to
Forty Second Street!
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hip hooray and ballyhoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The rumble of a subway train
The rattle of the taxis
The daffodils who entertain
At Angelo's and Maxie's
When a Broadway baby says good night
It's early in the morning
Manhattan babies don't sleep tight
Until the dawn
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Hey
Come on along and listen to
The lullaby of Broadway
The hi-de-hi and hoo-de-hoo
The lullaby of Broadway
The band begins to go to town
And everyone goes crazy
You rock a bye your baby round
Till everything gets hazy
"Hush a bye, I'll buy you this and that"
You hear a daddy saying
And baby goes home to her flat
To sleep all day
Good night, baby
Good night, milkman's on his way
Sleep tight, baby
Sleep tight, let's call it a day
Listen to the lullaby
Of old Broadway
That Old Soft Shoe
The raining day rhythm is calling to me,
Rain is falling as far as the eye can see;
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you,
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
The extended invitation;
Join the celebration and dance
Rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To the tintinnabulation of the day’s precipitation
Won’t you take advantage of the chance?
Oh that rainy day rhythm is calling to me
Rain is falling s far as the eye can see
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
INSTRUMENTAL
Oh that rainy day rhythm is calling to me
Rain is falling s far as the eye can see
The rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old .............
That old soft shoe
Rainy day rhythm is calling to you
To kick back with that old soft shoe.
There's a new world somewhere
They call the promised land
And I'll be there someday
If you could hold my hand
I still need you there beside me
No matter what I do
For I know I'll never find another you
There is always someone
For each of us, they say
And you'll be my someone
Forever and a day
I could search the whole world over
Until my life is through
But I know I'll never find another you
It's a long, long journey
So stay by my side
You'll be my guide, be my guide
If they gave me a fortune
My pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow
And never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
But if I should lose your love, dear
I don't know what I'd do
For I know I'll never find another you
Another you, another you
Somewhere beyond the sea
somewhere waiting for me
my lover stands on golden sands
and watches the ships that go sailin
Somewhere beyond the sea
she's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
then straight to her arms I'd go sailin'
It's far beyond the stars
it's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore
we'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'
I know beyond a doubt
my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet (I know we'll meet) beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
and never again I'll go sailin'
no more sailin'
no more sailin'
"It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow"
It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies
If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks grey
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day
It's a lovely day tomorrow
Tomorrow is a lovely day
Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes
On tomorrow's clear blue skies
If today your heart is weary
If ev'ry little thing looks grey
Just forget your troubles and learn to say
Tomorrow is a lovely day
The Rhythm of Life
When I started down the street last Sunday
Feeling mighty low and kind-a mean,
Suddenly a voice said “Go forth neighbour!
Spread the picture on a wider screen!”
And the voice said “Neighbor there’s a million reasons
Go go go
Why you should be glad in all four seasons!
Go go go
Hit the road neighbour, leave your worries and strife!
Tell them ev- ry-
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life!”
Thing you know!
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat,
to feel the rhythm of life
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
to feel the powerful beat
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,

Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet!
to feel the powerful beat
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm on the street,
(to feel the tingle in your fingers)
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat!
(to feel the tingle in your feet)
Go and spread the gospel in Milwaukee;
Take a walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge!
All the way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Even tell it under the Manhatton Bridge.
You will make a new sensation,
Have a growing congregation,
Build a glowing operation here below!

Life!
She is watching by the poplars, Colinette with the sea-blue eyes,
She is watching and longing, and waiting Where the long white roadway lies,
And a song stirs in the silence, As the wind in the boughs above,
She listens and starts and trembles, 'Tis the first little song of love.
Roses are shining in Picardy, In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy, But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime, And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy, 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
And the years fly on forever, Till the shadows veil their skies,
But he loves to hold her little hands, And look into her sea-blue eyes,
And she sees the road by the poplars, Where they met in the bygone years,
For the first little song of the roses, Is the last little song she hears:
Roses are shining in Picardy, In the hush of the silver dew,
Roses are flow'ring in Picardy, But there's never a rose like you!
And the roses will die with the summertime, And our roads may be far apart,
But there's one rose that dies not in Picardy, 'Tis the rose that I keep in my heart
Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they`re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly I`m not half the man I used to be
there`s a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don`t know she wouldn`t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm............
There’s a somebody I’m longing to see,
I hope that he
Turns out to be
Someone who’ll watch over me.
I’m a little lamb who’s lost in the wood,
I hope I could
Always be good
To one who’ll watch over me.
Although he may not be the man some girls think of as handsome,
To my heart he carries the key,
Won’t you tell him please to put on some speed,
Follow my lead,
Oh how I need
Someone to watch over me.
Some day he’ll come along
The man I love;
And he’ll be big and strong,
The man I love;
And when he comes my way,
I’ll do my best to make him stay
He’ll look at me and smile,
I’ll understand;
And in a little while
He’ll take my hand;
And though it seems absurd;
I know we both won’t say a word.
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday,
Maybe Monday maybe not;
Still I’m sure to meet him on day,
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day.
He’ll build a little home,
Just meant for two,
From which I’ll never roam,
Who would, would you?
And so all else above,
I’m waiting for the man I love.
I’ve got a crush on you, sweetiepie,
All the day and night-time hear me sigh,
I never had the least notion that I could fall with so much emotion,
Could you coo?
Could you care for a cunning cottage we could share?
The world will pardon my mush,
‘Cause I’ve got a crush, my baby, on you.
I’ve got a crush, my baby, on you,
On you, on you, the man I love.
Secrets of the Wind
Ocean mist and desert sand,
Whispers from a distant land all swirling round from a time so long ago;
Tiny scraps and fragile seeds,
Flying with the memories of people we will never see or know;
Secrets of the wind are blowing through
Listen well my friend and find a few long forgotten stories
And tales that still ring true,
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
Tales of knights and heroes brave,
Legends from the ancient days full of mysteries, philosophies and clues;
Lessons learned and wisdom gained,
Questions asked, things explained with answers we still seek and timeless truths.
Secrets of the wind are blowing through
Listen well my friends and find a few long forgotten stories
And tales that still ring true,
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
Listen all around, and wisdom can be found;
Secrets of the wind are blowing through.
I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
I dance in the moon and the stars and the sun,
I came down from Heaven and I danced on earth,
At Bethlehem I had my birth.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me.
So I danced for the fishermen,
James and John came with me and the dance went on.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame,
The Holy people said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,
Left me there on a cross to die.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black,
It's hard who dance with the devil on your back.
They buried my body, they thought I'd gone,
But I am the dance, and I still go on.
"Dance then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance," said he,
"And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance," said he.
They cut me down and I leapt up high;
I am the life that'll never, never die.
I'll live in you if you'll live in me:
I am the Lord of the dance, said he.
Dance, then, wherever you may be,
I am the Lord of the dance, said he,
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
Fields of Gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
Walked in fields of gold
Leaving of Liverpool
Farewell to Princes' landing stage River Mersey 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 darling when I think of thee
I have sailed with Burgess once before, I think I know him well
If a man's a sailor he will get along, if not then he's sure in 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 darling when I think of thee
Farewell to Lower Frederick Street, Anson Terrace and Park Lane
I am bound away for to leave you and I'll never 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 darling when I think of thee
I am bound for California by way of stormy Cape Horn
And I will write to thee a letter, love, when I am homeward bound
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've shipped on a Yankee clipper 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 darling when I think of thee
