Liverpool Lou
  by Dominic Behan

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 keep 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
