Thread Name: Tune Req: feart for mrs mackay??
Subject: Tune Req: feart for mrs mackay??
my late father used to sing a scottish song, i don't know where he learned it, and sadly ican no longer ask him. it begins:

"if you'd seen me before i got married
you would have said 'there's a man'.
but just like the rest i was captured,
and that's when ma troubles began.
for the boss of the hoose is the missus,
and i sometimes myself have to laugh.
though i'm six foot three
she's the boss over me
and she'sonly four foot and a half.

cos i'm feart for mrs mackay..."

any help with the title, or who wrote/sang this song would be most appreciated. thought it might be harry lauder, not sure tho.
