Smokie - Liverpool Docks текст песни

Once knew a man who thought he was another guy,
he was livin' a lie
He took a chance by roaming the streets in the night,
Till he learned how to fight
He met trouble one night, another man with his wife
So he brought out his knife, didn't mean to take his life
Now he's got to get away, hear him say

Chorus: (First)
I'm going down to the Liverpool Docks,
Try to hitch a ride, ain't gonna break no rocks
And I never had a friend, I never needed one
I'm going down to the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me
And maybe I can go where I won't ever have to come
back again

He took his time, lived his life alone,
An' his thoughts were his own
He lived in a place he'd never heard of before,
In Block number four
Then one night at his door, he stood facing the law
On the paper he saw, what they wanted him for,
They're gonna take him back, and he said

Chorus: (Second)
I'm goin' back to the Liverpool Docks,
Gonna take a ride, gotta break some rocks
And I never had a friend, but I never needed one
Take a ride on the silvery sea,
I'm gonna go some place where they won't find me
An' I don't wanna go 'cos I know that I'll never come
back again

Chorus: (First) repeat
