Liverpool Lou - The Irish Rovers

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou

Why can’t you behave just like the other girls do?

Why must my poor heart be following you

Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

When love is pleasing, and love is teasing

And love is a pleasure, when first it is new love

As love it grows it older, and love it grows colder

And fear is the way love, like the more I need you

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou

Why can’t you behave just 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

School children 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 can’t you behave just like the other girls do?

Why must my poor heart be following you

Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou
