Liverpool Judies

Music: Traditional
Lyrics: Traditional

Grungy white line

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
