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 keeps 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
