The Eagle and child - Red Flag

She’s a thorn in my Merseyside

Our beloved Eagle and Child

As a jewel 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 jewel 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
