Liverpool Lou
Dominic Behan

 
[Chorus]
   D                     G         D
Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
                F#m  Bm        Em          A
Why don't you behave just like other girls do
                 D          G         D
Why must my poor heart keep following you
                 F#m  D     A         D
Oh stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou

 
              A                      D
When I go out walking, I hear people talking
                    G                            D
The school children playing, I know what they're saying
                      A                            D
They're saying you'll grieve me, that you will deceive me
                   G         A                   D
One morning you'll leave me,   all packed up and gone
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                     G         D
Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
                F#m  Bm        Em          A
Why don't you behave just like other girls do
                 D          G         D
Why must my poor heart keep following you
                 F#m  D     A         D
Oh stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou
 
 
                A                    D
The tugs on the river are telling me ever
                  G                     D
That I should forget you like I'd never met you
                     A                      D
Please tell me their song love was never so wrong love
              G         A                 D
Just say I belong love,   to my Liverpool Lou
 
 
[Chorus]
   D                     G         D
Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
                F#m  Bm        Em          A
Why don't you behave just like other girls do
                 D          G         D
Why must my poor heart keep following you
                 F#m  D     A         D
Oh stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou
   D                     G         D
Oh Liverpool Lou, lovely Liverpool Lou
                F#m  Bm        Em          A
Why don't you behave just like other girls do
                 D          G         D
Why must my poor heart keep following you
                 F#m  D     A         D
Oh stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou
