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

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 me It's ten long years since I went away To roam the wide world o'er My very first trip in an old tramp ship That was bound for Baltimore I was ten days sick, I just couldn't stick That bobbing up and down So I told them, Jack, to turn right back To dear old Liverpool town We built the Mersey tunnel, boys Way back in 'thirty-three Dug an 'ole in the ground until we found An 'ole called Wallasey And the foreman cried, Come on outside The roof is fallin' down And I'm tellin' you, Jack, we all swam back To dear old Liverpool town There's every race and colour of face And every kind of name But the pigeons on the pierhead They'll treat us all the same If you walk up Upper Parliament Street You'll see faces black and brown And I've also seen the Orange and Green In dear old Liverpool town
