Boat To Liverpool (Live)

Sailed away from the old North Wall

Travelling feet gave me the call

Leaving, a suitcase in my hand

With the price of a pint, didn't need a bite

There was good old craic on the boat that night

As we left our homes in Ireland

The lights they flickered from the shore

The boat was rockin' too and fro

Heading for the docks in Liverpool

We sang and danced the night away

The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played

Steppin' off the boat in Liverpool

...Music.

Rise up at the crack of dawn

Working hard the whole week long

Night time I'd play me old guitar

We sang together one and all

Side by side and standing tall

The craic was good down in the Liffey bar

The lights they flickered from the shore

The boat was rockin' too and fro

Down beside the docks in Liverpool

We sang and danced the night away

The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played

Steppin' out at night in Liverpool

...Music.

Now that was many years ago

Good fortune came I'll have you know

Leavin' that old suitcase in my hand

The time has come to bid adieu

To me good old pals in Liverpool

Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland

The lights they flickered from the shore

The boat was rockin' too and fro

Heading for the docks in Liverpool

We sang and danced the night away

The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played

Steppin' off the boat from Liverpool

Ah we're steppin' off the boat from Liverpool

...Music.
