Description
The National Youth Folklore Troupe of England (NYFTE) - Bully in the Alley is a 'cotton-screwing' shanty, a song to help time the exertions of four-man work gangs using jack screws to compress and force cotton bales into the holds of outbound ships. There are various possible locations for 'Shinbone Alley' including Bermuda and New York.
