Boat To Liverpool

Sailed away from the ol north wall
Travellin feet gave me the call
Leavin, suitcase in my hand
With the price of a pint and an eat to bite
There was good ol craic on the boat that night
As we left our homes in Ireland

The lights they flickered from the shore
The boat was rockin to an fro
Headin for the docks of Liverpool
Oh we sang and danced the night away
The squeezebox an the fiddle played
Steppin off the boat in Liverpool

Rise up at the crack of dawn
Workin hard the whole week long
Night time, i play me ol guitar
We sang together one and all
Side by side an standing tall
The craic was good down in the Liffey bar

The lights they flickered from the shore
The pub was rockin to an fro
Down beside the docks of Liverpool
Oh we sang and danced the night away
The squeezebox an the fiddle played
Steppin out at night in Liverpool

Now that was many years ago
Good fortune came ill have you know
Leavin that ol suitcase in my hand
The time has come to bid adieu
To me good ol pals in Liverpool
Tomorrow ill be back in Ireland

The lights they flickered from the shore
The boat was rockin to and fro
Headin from the docks of Liverpool
Oh we sang and danced the night away
The squeezebox an the fiddle played
Steppin off the boat from Liverpool

Oh were steppin off the boat from Liverpool
