Artist/Band: Irish Rovers
Lyrics for Song: Liverpool Lou
Lyrics for Album: 20the Century Masters: Best Of [2003]



When I go a-walking, I hear people talking


Schoolchildren 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, love, like the other girls do?


Why must my poor heart be following you


Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou





The sound from the river keeps telling me ever


That I should forget you like I'd never met you


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, love, like the other girls do?


Why must my poor heart be following you


Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou
