hi thanks catalpa for ur answer at last ive ben wondering for years what this song was about . thought it was liverpool orintated, 45 years have passed now since we used to listen to his lovely ballads, I wonder if anyone knows what was the title of that song alice he used to sing ive looked for it everywhere with no sucsess p manchester.
Great version, I think Danny was the first in Ireland to record this one ? I wonder is the song based on a real person. As for the tool in the audience with the puppet, I wonder who's the puppet there, perhaps he had too much whiskey. Danny Doyle is still one of the finest ballad singers ever.
Catalpa. The song is indeed about a real person. Seth Davy was a jamaican immigrant who performed a puppet show outside the Bevington Bush hotel in Liverpool. The gentleman in the audience is performing in the same manner and style as Seth Davy did.
where is the original video with Rolf Harris shown in this video?

I remember singing this song in music class when I was a little girl - 30 odd years ago.... :)

This song brings back such memories. My dad often sung this to me as a kind of a lullaby when I was a little 'un. I love it.

that is a limberjack/jig doll. I'm making one for my daughter just as a nice wee thing for her to keep.
Absolutely brilliant song - I remember this song from when I was no age.
