Thread Name: Songs about bad wives (or bad SO's)
Subject: RE: Bad Wife Songs (or bad SO's)
There is also one apposite stanza in "FATHOM THE BOWL".
In WHISTLE O'ER THE LAVE O'T, it is not clear what has gone wrong, but at any rate the wife is pretty bad at the time of singing.
Margaret MacArthur (I think it is) sings a song (I can't find it at the moment) about a wife who worries that her husband will break her mother's favorite jug & nags him about it till he smashes it in a fury.
