It’s about an Irish couple who emigrated to America, ostensibly in the 1940’s, in hope of making it as entertainers in New York. Although, as stated by co-writer Shane MacGowan:

The song took years to write, it was released in 1987. Now a Christmas Standard, it enters the UK Top Twenty every December. According to Jem Finer his first attempts at writing this song about a sailor missing his wife was deemed too corny by his wife:I said OK, you suggest a storyline and I’ll write another one. The basic plotline came from her: this idea of a couple falling on hard times and coming eventually to some redemption. These jumpers look especially awesome when worn as a set of two in contrast colourways. A great gift for your best friend, as a couples first Christmas as Mr and Mrs gift, and they are perfect to wear with your work husband/wife for Christmas jumper day.
