Thread Name: Origin: Sail Away Ladies
Subject: RE: origin and lyr: Sail Away Ladies
Doney/Dony: Paul Mitchell and others believe the words in Macon's last line sometimes heard as own daughter is really Dona, pronounced Dough-nee in the American South, a Spanish/Italian word for a mature love object, a woman.
There was another thread on this/ or it was discussed in some detail.
Hope you feel better soon.
