Keep coming back to Dominics version - it is superb!!! Remember singing this in The Throstles Nest on Scotland Road in 1978 after another title win to The Redmen.

@catalpa So many Irishmen lived in, worked in, or just visited Liverpool. Why shouldn't an Irish man write a song about a Liverpool girl??

I heard Dominic Behan interviewed once abut this song.
He was coming from the Dublin boat in Liverpool and saw a "lady of the night' walking along the docks - at the same time a church bell was ringing and he started humming to the sound of the bells and came up with the first few lines of 'Liverpool Lou'
-
beautiful, thank you, Mia....
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Whilst Behan was undoubtedly brilliant, this is a traditional folk song from my home town, Liverpool, England, and shouldn't really be subtitled an Irish folk song.

A bit picky there with comment ?it's an Irish song, written by an Irishman, Yes it mentions Liverpool , that does not make it an English song, Do a search of ''Irish Song'' and see what comes up. A whole heep of American crap about some t.v. show. thats the kind of stuff that has the wrong tags.
Anyway thats my rant for today
