She’s a thorn in my Merseyside Our beloved Eagle and Child As a jewel in England’s crown Will never be the Eagle and Child
She’s my Liverpool when I’m not there In place of a throne I’ll pull up a chair She’s my home away from home She’s my anchor, my birthstone The Eagle and Child
Dear da why did we leave Our beloved Eagle and Child Dear ma was I so naпve How I miss our Eagle and Child
I've tried to resist, to cease and desist When suddenly life has taken a twist And my home away from Has embraced me as her own The Eagle and Child
Then I was taken to another country, dear da When I was only a small child, dear ma And there's a memory at least to some degree Unreconsiled The Eagle and Child
She’s a thorn in my Merseyside Our beloved Eagle and Child As a jewel in England’s crown Will never be the Eagle and Child
She’s my Liverpool when I’m not there In place of a throne I’ll pull up a chair She’s my home away from home She’s my anchor, my birthstone The Eagle and Child
