I Wish I Were Back In Liverpool (1993 Digital Remaster) - The Dubliners[00:00:00]
I wish I was back in Liverpool[00:00:02]
Liverpool town where I was born[00:00:07]
Where there ain't no trees no scented greens[00:00:16]
No fields of waving corn[00:00:21]
But there's lots of girls with peroxide pearls[00:00:23]
And the Black and Tan flows free[00:00:27]
There's six in a bed by the old pier head[00:00:29]
And it's Liverpool town for me[00:00:33]
'TIs seven long years since I wandered away[00:00:38]
To sail the wide world o'er[00:00:43]
Me very first trip on an old steamship[00:00:49]
That was bound for Baltimore[00:00:53]
I was seven days sick and I just couldn't stick[00:00:54]
That bubbling up and down[00:01:00]
So I told them Jack you'd better turn back[00:01:04]
For dear old Liverpool town[00:01:07]
Dug a hole in the ground until we found[00:01:55]
We dug the Mersey tunnel, boys, way back in '33[00:01:56]
An old cold wall ye see[00:01:59]
Then the foreman cried:[00:02:02]
'Come on outside the roof is falling down'[00:02:04]
Well I'm telling you Jack we all swam back[00:02:09]
To dear old Liverpool town[00:02:12]
Well there's every race and colour of face[00:02:17]
There's every kind of name[00:02:34]
But the pigeons on the pier head they treat you all the same[00:02:35]
And if you walk above to Parliament Street[00:02:41]
You'd see faces black and brown[00:02:43]
And I have also seen the orange and green[00:02:50]
In dear old Liverpool town[00:03:29]
