Liverpool Lou

(album: 30 Years A-Greying - 1992)

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why don't you behave just like other girls do?
Why must my poor heart keep following you?
Oh, stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

When I go out walking, I hear people talking
School children playing, I know what they're saying
They're saying you'll grieve me, that you will deceive me
Some morning you'll leave me, all packed up and gone

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why don't you behave just like other girls do?
Why must my poor heart keep following you?
Oh, stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

The sounds from the river keep telling me ever
That I should forget you, like I'd never met you
Oh, tell me their song, love, was never more wrong, love
Say I belong, love, to my Liverpool Lou

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why don't you behave just like other girls do?
Why must my poor heart keep following you?
Oh, stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
Why don't you behave just like other girls do?
Why must my poor heart keep following you?
Oh, stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou
Oh, stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou
