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
