Boat to Liverpool Songtext

von Nathan Carter

Sailed away from the old North Wall
Travelling feet gave me the call,
Leaving, a suitcase in my hand,
With the price of a pint, didn't need a bite.
There was good old craic on the boat that night.
As we left our homes in Ireland.

The lights they flickered from the shore,
The boat was rockin' too and fro,
Heading for the docks in Liverpool,
We sang and danced the night away,
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played,
Steppin' off the boat in Liverpool.

...Music...
Rise up at the crack of dawn,
Working hard the whole week long,
Night time I'd play me old guitar,
We sang together one and all,
Side by side and standing tall.

The craic was good down in the Liffey bar
The lights they flickered from the shore,
The boat was rockin' too and fro,
Down beside the docks in Liverpool,
We sang and danced the night away,
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played,
Steppin' out at night in Liverpool.
...Music...
Now that was many years ago,
Good fortune came I'll have you know,
Leavin' that old suitcase in my hand,
The time has come to bid adieu
To me good old pals in Liverpool

Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland.
The lights they flickered from the shore,
The boat was rockin' too and fro,
Heading for the docks in Liverpool,
We sang and danced the night away,
The squeezebox, sang and the fiddle played,
Steppin' off the boat from Liverpool
Ah we're steppin' off the boat from Liverpool
...Music...
