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
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
Went to Hamburg
The red lights were on
With George and Paul
And my friend John
We rocked all night
We all looked up
We didn’t have much
But we had enough
In the USA
When we played Shea
We were number one
Man, it was fun
When I look back
It sure was cool
For those four boys
From Liverpool
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.
