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
The school children playing , I know what they're saying
They're saying you'll grieve me , that you will deceive me
One morning you'll leave me All packed up and gone

The tugs on the river are telling me ever
That I should forget you Like I'd never met you
Please tell me their song love Was never so wrong love
Just say I belong love , To my Liverpool Lou.
