Liverpool Lullaby Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [G] [Am] [G] [Am]

[VERSE 1]
Oh, you are a [E]mucky [Am]kid
Dirty as a [E]dustbin [Am]lid
When he finds out the [E]things you[Am] did
You'll get a [E]belt from your [Am]Dad

[VERSE 2]
[Dm]Oh, you have your [Am]father's nose

So crimson in the dark it glows
[Dm]If you're not asleep when the [Am]boozers close
You'll get a [E]belt from your [Am]Dad

[VERSE 3]
You look so scruffy [E]lying [Am]there
Strawberry-[E]jam tarts in your [Am]hair
And in the world you [E]haven't a [Am]care
And I have [E]got so [Am]many

[VERSE 4]
[Dm]It's quite a struggle [Am]every day

Living on your father's pay
The [Dm]bugger drinks it all a[Am]way
And leaves me [E]without [Am]any

[VERSE 5]
Although we have no [E]silver [Am]spoon
Better [E]days are coming [Am]soon
Now Nelly's working [E]at the [Am]Lune
And she gets [E]paid on [Am]Friday

[VERSE 6]
[Dm]Perhaps one day we'll [Am]have a bash

When Littlewoods provide the cash
[Dm]We'll get a house in [Am]Knotty Ash
And buy your [E]Dad a [Am]brewery

[VERSE 7]
Oh, you are a [E]mucky [Am]kid
Dirty as a [E]dustbin [Am]lid
When he finds out the [E]things you[Am] did
You'll get a [E]belt from your [Am]Dad

[VERSE 8]
[Dm]Oh you have your [Am]father's face

You're growing up a real hard case
[Dm]But there's no one can [Am]take your place
Go fast a[E]sleep for [Am]Mammy
