Liverpool Lou lyrics

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou

Why don't you behave love like the other girls do?

Oh 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

And as it grows older, and love it grows colder

And then fades away love, like the morning dew

Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou

Why don't you behave love like the other girls do?

Oh why must my poor heart be following you?

Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

When I go out walking, I hear people talking

The children are playing, oh what's that they're saying?

They're saying you'll grieve me, and that you'll deceive me

They're saying 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?

Oh why must my poor heart be following you?

Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou

Stay home and love me, my Liverpool Lou
