Thread Name: Songs about bad wives (or bad SO's)
Subject: RE: Bad Wife Songs (or bad SO's)
Well, "SEVEN NIGHTS DRUNK" has a couple that I'd not be too fond of. Chanteys are full of bad girlfriend songs, such as "Sarafina," "Haul Away Joe," etc. One of my favorite Ewan McColl songs is "THE MAID GAED TAE THE MILL" (or whatever the "real" title of that one is), with its generally wanton characters all around.
