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 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 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
