I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea Then I got a job, in a factory Played Butlins 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 flags 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
Chorus
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
Instrumental break
In the USA, when we played Shea We were number one, and it was fun When I look back, it sure was cool With those four boys, from Liverpool
chorus
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 Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool Come on lads, let me hear it One more time La la la la la Liverpool La la la la la la Liverpool
