Lyrics
I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea
Then I got a job in a factory
Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory
It was good for him, it was great for me
Liverpool I left you
Said goodbye to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart
And I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down
Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on
With George and Paul and my friend, John
We rocked all night, we all looked tough
We didn't have much, but we had enough
Liverpool I left you
Said, "Goodbye" to Madryn Street
I always followed my heart
And I never missed a beat
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down, no
In USA when we played Shea
We were number one and it was fun
When I look back, it sure was cool
For those four boys from Liverpool
Liverpool I left you
Said, "Goodbye" to Admiral Grove
I always followed my heart
So, I took it on the road
Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
Liverpool
Liverpool
Liverpool
Liverpool
Come on
Liverpool
Liverpool
Come on guys
Liverpool
Let me hear it
(Liverpool)
One more time
(Liverpool)
La-la-la, la-la-la
Liverpool
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
(Liverpool)
La-la-la, la-la-la
Liverpool
La-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la
(Liverpool)
