Liverpool 8
Ringo Starr Lyrics

I was a sailor first, I sailed the sea
I started my career as a sailor and spent a lot of time traveling through different parts of the world on ships.

Then I got a job, in a factory
Later on, I decided to switch to a factory job where I could have a stable source of income and not have to worry about the dangers of life on the high seas.

Played Butlin's Camp with my friend Rory
I had the opportunity to perform with my friend Rory at Butlin's Camp, which was a great experience for both of us.

It was good for him, it was great for me
While the performance may have helped Rory more than me, it was still a positive experience that I look back on fondly.

Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Madryn Street
I said farewell to my hometown of Liverpool and my childhood street, Madryn Street, as I embarked on my journey to pursue my dreams and destiny elsewhere.

I always followed my heart, and I never missed a beat
Throughout my life and career, I have always trusted my instincts and followed my heart, and that has led me to many great opportunities and experiences.

Destiny was calling, I just couldn't stick around
I felt a strong pull towards my future and my destiny, which led me to leave Liverpool and pursue my dreams elsewhere, even though it was a difficult decision to make.

Liverpool I left you, but I never let you down
Even though I left Liverpool, I am proud of where I come from and have always honored my roots in my music and my life.

Went to Hamburg, the red lights were on
I traveled to Hamburg with my friends George, Paul, and John to perform, and experienced the city's famous red-light district while we were there.

With George & Paul, and my friend John
I was lucky enough to have the talented George and Paul in my life as well as my dear friend John, with whom I shared many amazing experiences.

We rocked all night, we all looked tough
We put on some amazing performances in Hamburg, and even though we may have looked like scrappy young musicians, we had a lot of confidence in our abilities.

We didn't have much, but we had enough
Even though we may not have had a lot of money or resources at the time, we were happy with what we had and made the most of our opportunities.

Liverpool I left you, said 'goodbye' to Admiral Grove
When I left Liverpool again, I said farewell to Admiral Grove, another street that holds many memories for me.

I always followed my heart, so I took it on the road
Once again, I trusted my instincts and took to the road to pursue my music career and see where it would take me next.

La la la la la la....Liverpool
As always, Liverpool will always have a special place in my heart, and I will never forget where I come from.
