In my Liverpool Home
In My Liverpool Home is an original Liverpool song.  Written by Pete McGovern, the song is known by people throughout the city. The song refers to well known Liverpool landmarks and is written in a down to earth and comical manner.


 

  

I was born in Liverpool, down by the docks.

My religion was Catholic, occupation hard knock.

At stealing from lorries, I was adept.

And under old overcoats, each night we slept.


In my Liverpool home, in my Liverpool home.

We speak with an accent exceedingly rare.

Meet under a statue exceedingly bare.

If you want a cathedral, we've got one to spare.

In my Liverpool home.


Way back in the forties, the world it went mad.

Mr. Hitler threw at us everything that he had.

When the smoke and the dust had all cleared from the air.

"Thank God" said me old man, "The Pier Head's still there"


Now when I grew up, I met Bridie McCann.

She said "You're not much, but I'm needing a man.

'Cos I want 15 kids and a house out in Speke"

The spirit was willing, but the flesh it was weak.
