Liverpool Judies from Poles Apart by Tom Lewis
Sailors commonly assumed that 'Judy' was a ubiquitous name for girls they met in Liverpool. This traditional shanty is from the 'packet-ship' trade, of the 18th. and 19th. centuries.

I am rubbish at ‘blowing my own trumpet’ (he said, modestly). However; one publication said:
‘After 24 years at sea; Tom's repertoire—from traditional shanties to songs fashioned out of his own seafaring background—recruits his audience for a voyage by turns reflective, dramatic and humorous; with songs that have become folk standards; known and sung wherever great choruses ring out.’
