I Wish I Were Back in Liverpool - The Dubliners

作曲：Kelly/Rosselson

I wish I was back in Liverpool

Liverpool town where I was born

Where there ain't no trees no scent

Of grease no field's of waving corn

But there's lots of girls with peroxide

Curls and the black and tan flows free

There's six in a bed by the old pier head

And it's Liverpool town for me

'Tis seven long years since I wandered

Away to sail the wild world o'er

Me very first trip on an old steam ship

That was bound for Baltimore

I was seven days sick and I just couldn't

Stick that bobbin' up and down

So I told them Jack you'd better turn

Back for dear old Liverpool town

I wish I was back in Liverpool

Liverpool town where I was born

Where there ain't no trees no scent of grease

No field's of waving corn

But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls

And the black and tan flows free

There's six in a bed by the old pier head

And it's Liverpool town for me

We dug the Mersey tunnel boys

Way back in thirty-three

Dug an hole in the ground until

We found an hold called Wallasey

Then the foreman cried Come on

Outside The roof is fallin' down

While I'm tellin' you Jack we all swum

Back to dear old Liverpool town

I wish I was back in Liverpool

Liverpool town where I was born

Where there ain't no trees no scent

Of grease no field's of waving corn

But there's lots of girls with peroxide

Curls and the black and tan flows free

There's six in a bed by the old pier head

And it's Liverpool town for me

There's every race and colour of face

There's every kind of name

But the pigeons on the pier head they

Treat you all the same

And if you walk up upon Parlament

Street you'll get faces black and brown

And I've also seen the orange-green

In dear old Liverpool town

I wish I was back in Liverpool

Liverpool town where I was born

Where there ain't no trees no scent

Of grease no fiel's of waving corn

But there's lots of girls with peroxide

Curls and the black and tan flows free

There's six in a bed by the old pier head

And it's Liverpool town for me
