And when the boys asked me to come as a guest, he asked me to sing this.
[N] The Leaving of Liverpool.
I live for it.
[D] [G] [D]
[A]
[D] [E] [G] [D]
Fare thee well to you my [G] old [D] Sherlock
I am sailing far, far [A] away
[D] I'll doubt for colour, [G] for [D] thy year
And I know that I'll be jerk some day
So [A] fare thee well my old Sherlock
And I'll retire and unite [A] and we will be
It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But retiring when I think of thee
I've sailed on the Yankee [G] sailing [D] ship
Davy Crockett is [A] her name
And [D] Burgess is to [G] her Captain [D] of Horror
And they say that she's a floating house
Sing with me now
[A] So fare thee well [G] my old [D] Sherlock
And when I return united we [A] will be
It's not [D] the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But retiring [A] when I think [D] of thee
By the way, now now boys
I [G] [D]
[A]
[D] [G] [D]
have sailed with [G] Burgess once [D] before
He's a man I know [A] right well
If [D] a man's a sailor then [G] he'll care [D] for a while
It's not that [A] he's surely [D] in the hell
I need a choir
So [A] fare thee well my [G] old [D] Sherlock
And when I return [A] united we will be
It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But retiring when [A] I think [D] of thee
Now the sun shines on the [G] harbour [D] lot
I wish I could [A] remain
For [D] I know it'd be a [G] long, [D] long time
Till I see you again
So [A] fare thee well [G] my old [D] Sherlock
And when I return united we [A] will be
It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But retiring when I think of thee Now heesh
[A] So fare thee well [G] my old [D] Sherlock
And when I return united [A] we will be
It's [D] not the leaving of Liverpool [G] that [D] brings me
But retiring [A] when I think [D] of thee
Lord my darling when I think of thee
[N] It's a wolf
