I Called Her Rose From England

She told me she come from England from England far away And that in Liverpool on Mersey side she spent her childhood days And that she has spent most of her life here in Australia 'I'm quoting what she say' And I'd like to get to know her better but then I never may. From Liverpool in England I have never been to there A beautiful young woman with blondish wavy hair Hometown of the Pop group Beatles who won World-wide acclaim The night clubs by the Mersey gave them their start to fame. Why I did not ask her for her name? don't know the reason why Perhaps I lack the courage or perhaps I felt too shy Or perhaps I'm not inquisitive or I'm not one to pry? Don't know myself the reason since I'll not tell a lie. She works in Hampton Park fruit shop and she tells me it's part time A beautiful young woman and she yet not in her prime From Liverpool in England twelve thousand miles or more To Melbourne in Victoria on Australia's sunny shore. I call her Rose from England Rose from the Mersey side A friendly charming person untouched by foolish pride I'd like to get to know her better and ask her out for tea But it's not what I do think of her it's what she thinks of me.
