She's a thorn in my Merseyside Our beloved Eagle and Child As a j**el in England's crown Will never be the Eagle and Child She's my Liverpool when I'm not there In place of a throne I'll pull up a chair She's my home away from home She's my anchor, my birthstone The Eagle and Child Dear da why did we leave Our beloved Eagle and Child Dear ma was I so naïve How I miss our Eagle and Child Then I was taken to another country, dear da
When I was only a small child, dear ma And there's a memory at least to some degree Unreconciled The Eagle and Child She's a thorn in my Merseyside Our beloved Eagle and Child As a j**el in England's crown Will never be the Eagle and Child She's my Liverpool when I'm not there In place of a throne I'll pull up a chair She's my home away from home She's my anchor, my birthstone The Eagle and Child
