Thinking back to the mid sixties I remember Glyn Hughes (Whiskey on a Sunday) penning a couple of songs about other Liverpool streets , one now a ghost street and the other "Re-developed" and I have the bait out in the murky pool of my memory and I am waiting for these fishes to swim to the hook , I have odd snatches that I recall and the skeleton is reforming . These songs were sung by Jimmy English , indeed one of them was penned by Glyn for Jimmy back in 65/66
Jimmy used to sing rock n roll in the "Dive" in Brythen street in the old markets area of Liverpool , a fantastic rambling warren of stalls selling anything and everything ! This was the only fully licensed street in the city  , I was told , Housing "The Dive" "The Dart" and The Roebuck" --All pubs ,  To complete the deal the last shop was a tobacconists.
Anyway , Digging around I found this page and here's a link for the enjoyment of the Liverpool historians.

And here's Jim. Taken during his "Residency" at the Court house pub in Commutation row circa 1964/5

Crooked Lane by Glyn Hughes

As sung by Jimmy English.

The sun shines bright on Rio

And likewise Lima town

And far across the Southern seas

The dawn shines like a crown

But I'd rather be in Liverpool

Listening to the Rai--ain

As it rattles on my window pane

In cozy crooked lane.

* 

Crooked la--ane

Crooked La--ane

Cozy Cozy Crooked lane.

*

Farewell to Valpariso

 And Gibraltar's burning rock

My heart it goes where the Mersey flows

Down by the Wapping dock

I'm Sailing home to Liverpool

Across the foaming mai--ain

To sit beside my Inglenook

In Cozy Crooked lane.

Chorus. 

I'm trying to get the tune written out but I might need a bit of help with that.

The tune has a strange key change in the middle which I could never master back then because the notes werent on a flageolet .

 Perhaps I should have tried another instrument???
