Liverpool Lullaby

Judy Collins - Liverpool Lullaby CAPO: 3rd Fret {Intro]             [Verse 1] Oh you are a mucky kid Dirty as a dustbin lid When he finds out the things you did You’ll get a belt from your Dad [Verse 2] Oh you have your father’s nose So crimson in the dark it glows If you’re not asleep when the boozers close You’ll get a belt from your Dad [Verse 3] You look so scruffy lying there Strawberry-jam tarts in your hair And in the world you haven’t a care And I have got so many [Verse 4] It’s quite a struggle every day Living on your father’s pay The bugger drinks it all away And leaves me without any [Verse 5] Although we have no silver spoon Better days are coming soon Now Nelly’s working at the Lune And she gets paid on Friday [Verse 6] Perhaps one day we’ll have a bash When Littlewoods provide the cash We’ll get a house in Knotty Ash And buy your Dad a brewery [Verse 7] Oh you are a mucky kid Dirty as a dustbin lid When he finds out the things you did You’ll get a belt from your Dad [Verse 8] Oh you have your father’s face You’re growing up a real hard case But there’s no one can take your place Go fast asleep for Mammy
