Subject: Lyr Req: 'Watch Her Twigger'
A regular singer in clubs in Shropshire, sang a song that may have come from the trawling trade around Grimsby. I only remember the chorus which was:
"Watch 'er, Twigger, she's a proper joo-bee-joo,
Give 'er some sheet and let her rip, we're the boys to push her through.
You should have seen us rally, the wind a-blowin' free.
A Passage from the Dogger Bank, to great Grimsby."

Can anyone identify the song and its origin?
Thanks.
