I Wish I Was Back In Liverpool Lyrics - T. Duggins

I Wish I Was Back In Liverpool
I wish I was back in Liverpool
Liverpool town where I was born
Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze
No fields of waving corn
But there's lots of girls with peroxide curls
And the black-and-tan flows free
Where there's six in a bed by the old pierhead
And it's Liverpool town for meIt's ten long years since I went awayTo roam the wide world o'er
My very first trip in an old tramp shipThat was bound for Baltimore
I was ten days sick, I just couldn't stickThat bobbing up and down
So I told them, Jack, to turn right backTo dear old Liverpool townWe built the Mersey tunnel, boys
Way back in 'thirty-three
Dug an 'ole in the ground until we foundAn 'ole called Wallasey
And the foreman cried, Come on outside
The roof is fallin' down
And I'm tellin' you, Jack, we all swam backTo dear old Liverpool townThere's every race and colour of faceAnd every kind of name
But the pigeons on the pierheadThey'll treat us all the same
If you walk up Upper Parliament StreetYou'll see faces black and brown
And I've also seen the Orange and GreenIn dear old Liverpool town
