Henry's Songbook

        Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
        Why don't yopu behave just like other girls do
        Why must my poor heart keep 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

The sounds from the river keep telling me ever
That I should forget you like I'd never met you
Tell me this song, love, was never more wrong, love
Say I belong, love, to my Liverpool Lou
