Boat To Liverpool (2015 Version)

Boat To Liverpool (2015 Version) - 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

And the lights they flickered from the shore

The boat was rocking to and fro

Heading for the docks Liverpool

We sang and danced the night away

The squeezebox sang the fiddle played

Stepping off the boat in Liverpool

Rise up at the craic of dawn

Working hard the whole week long

At night time I'd play me old guitar

And we sang together one and all

Side by side and standing tall

The craic was good down all in the Liffey Bar

The lights they flickered from the shore

The boat was rocking to and fro

Down beside the docks in Liverpool

We sang and danced the night away

The squeezebox sang and fiddle played

Stepping off that night in Liverpool

Now that was many years ago

But fortune came I'll have you know

Leaving that old suitcase in my hand

The time has come to bid adieu

To be good old pals in Liverpool

Tomorrow I'll be back in Ireland

The lights they flickered from the shore

The boat was rocking to and fro

Heading for the docks in Liverpool

We sang and danced the night away

The squeezebox sang and fiddle played

Stepping off the hold fun Liverpool

I wish stepping off the hold fun Liverpool
