Thread Name: Tune Req: mollie Magee
Subject: mollie Magee
I'm searching for an old tune sung in the Navy out of San Diego and on board merchant ships. The song was Mollie Magee. The known lyrics start out: "in 18 hundred and 43, that's when I met sweet mollie magee, a pretty young wife she made for me while workin' on the railway followed by a chorus of: fiddle de oree aree aa ,repeated 3 times then followed by: while workin' on the railway. I believe I got the title right. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
