Liverpool Docks
(专辑: The Montreux Album - 1978)
Once knew a
man who thought he was another guy, he was living a
lie. He took a
chance by roaming the
streets in the
night, Till he learned how to fight. He met trouble one night, another man with his wife. So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life. Now he's got to get away, hear him say. [Chorus: (First)] I'm going down to the
Liverpool Docks, Try to hitch a
ride, ain't gonna break no rocks. And I
never had a
friend, I
never needed one. I'm going down to the
silvery sea, I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me. And maybe I
can go where I
won't ever have to come back again. He took his time, lived his life alone, An' his thoughts were his own. He lived in a
place he'd never heard of before, In Block number four. Then one night at his door, he stood facing the
law. On the
paper he saw, what they wanted him for, They're gonna take him back, and he said. [Chorus: (Second)] I'm going back to the
Liverpool Docks, Gonna take a
ride, gotta break some rocks. And I
never had a
friend, but I
never needed one. Take a
ride on the
silvery sea, I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me. An' I
don't wanna go 'cos I
know that I'll never come back again. [Chorus: (First) repeat]
