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