Guitar: Liverpool Judies

This song is also known as 'Row, Bullies, Row!" It would have been under that title that I first heard the Spinners singing a version of it. This is not their version, but rather a fuller version I acquired from the internet after receiving a request to sing it.

Fantastic - and I've been trying to get the Spinners version of this worked out on the guitar for years. I'm not 100% it's their way but it'll do for me at the folk club next week! Have to suss out what I need to put up some contributions of my own...

What a fantastic performance ! As an under-informed Yank, I've never heard this song before, but I absolutely love it. Great tune and lyrics...and you have the perfect singing voice for it!

Here comes more Yank ignorance: Is this a traditioinal song and, if so, is there a story behind it?

Hi

Thank you for your kind comment. It is a traditional shanty, and that I am sorry to say is all that I know about it. However, if you look it up in Wikipedia you may well find out more about it.

Kind regards from the Isle of Man

Really appreciate it Tony. My auntie taught me this song when I was a wee one... she was a sailor.
