Don’t cry for me Liverpool, I have to go away.

My ‘call up’ papers, arrived in the post today.

The Army will train me to be a fighting man.

I will serve my Country and do the best I can.

 

Don’t cry for me Liverpool, plenty more like me.

Going off to war, to fight over land, air and sea.

Never been away before or left my comfort zone.

I will really miss my kids and my Liverpool home.

 

To Bertie and Bella, I have a message just for you.

Take care of my family, if any planes get through.

Don’t cry for me Liverpool, wipe away those tears.

We’ll be together again, after these war time years.

 

(Bertie and Bella are the 2 Liver Birds perched on top of the Liver Building, who look over and protect our City)
