Oh Liverpool Lou loverly Liverpool Lou Why don't you behave love like the other girls do Oh why must my poor heart keep 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 But as it grows older then love it grows colder And then fades away love like the morning dew Oh Liverpool Lou loverly Liverpool Lou Why don't you behave love like the other girls do Oh why must my poor heart keep 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 and that you'll deceive me They're saying you'll leave me all packed up and gone Oh Liverpool Lou loverly Liverpool Lou Why don't you behave love like the other girls do Oh why must my poor heart keep following you Stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou Stay home and love me my Liverpool Lou
