DESCRIPTION:
Bernie Davis, accompanying himself on concertina, performs the old Liverpool sea shanty, 'Liverpool Judies'.
When a sailing ship was going at a good clip, the sailors used to say that the girls were on the tow-rope, pulling the ship along. In the case of this old capstan shanty, it's the girls (judies) of Liverpool who are 'towing' the lads homeward.
