I am trying to help, but am drawing a blank on the song you refer to. Where and when did you here it, can you narrow the search down a bit? |

There don't appear to be any lyrics on the web, but they are included in the songbook "Hughie's Ditty Bag", available for £3 + £1 p&p from the Chantey Cabin here:- Hughie Jones page at the Chantey Cabin where you will also find a couple of CDs that include the song - "Hughie's Ditty Bag" and "Hughie Jones with Bob Conroy "Live" at Snug Harbor", recorded in the New York Sailor's Home where William Doerflinger collected the immortal Leaving of Liverpool. I have a copy of Hughie's songbook somewhere. If he's happy for the lyrics to be listed here, I'll post them when I find it. Ross |
