Musique: Leaving of Liverpool

 

Une chanson qui passe souvent en bal "Country", mais voilà les dj's des soirées country prennent souvent une mauvaise version remixée alors voici une belle version par un groupe breton de chansons de marins. 

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

Refrain: 

So fare thee well my own true love
And 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'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

Refrain.

I have shipped on a Yankee sailing ship

Davy Crockett is her name
And Burgess he was captain of her
And they say she is a floating hell

Refrain.

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 Hell

Refrain.

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 

Refrain. 

So fare thee well my own true love
I am going fare away
I am bound to California
 But I know I will return some day

Oh, the sun is on the harbour, love
And I wish I could remain
And I know it will be a very long, long time
Before I see you again
