Liverpool Judies
Music: Traditional
Lyrics: Traditional
ALL ABOARD!
From Liverpool to 'Frisco a-rovin' I went
For to stay in that country, was my good intent
But drinkin' strong whiskey like other damn fools
I soon was transported back to Liverpool
[chorus]
Row (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies, they got us in tow
To me row, (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies they got us in tow
Now a smart Yankee packet lies out in the bay
A-waitin' fair wind for to get under way
With all of her sailors, so sick and so sore
They drunk all their whiskey, they can't get no more
[chorus]
Row (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies, they got us in tow
To me row, (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies they got us in tow
Here comes the captain in a hell of a stew
He's lookin' for work for us sailors to do.
And it's Fore tops’l halyards, he loudly does roar
And it's lay aloft Paddy, ye son of a whore!
[chorus]
Row (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies, they got us in tow
To me row, (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies they got us in tow
Now here's a health to the first mate, where’er he may be,
He’s a bully on land and a bucko at sea,
But as for the captain, the dirty old brute,
We hope when he dies straight to hell he'll skyhoot.
[chorus]
Row (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies, they got us in tow
To me row, (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies they got us in tow
[chorus]
Row (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies, they got us in tow
To me row, (ROW!)
Row bullies, row!
Them Liverpool Judies they got us in tow
