Thread Name: Songs about women coping
Subject: RE: Animaterra: Songs about women coping?
"Here's To You Rounders (and Here's to your RailRoad Men)". About a woman whose husband left many years ago and now she refuses to have him back. It may be on Art Thieme's CD. (Art, I apologize for not knowling.) A fine feisty woman.

There's one by Eric Bogle, never knew the title, it may be mentioned above. Chorus goes something like "Oh, my dear, it's a weary, weary life / Wha would be a drinkin' man's wife? Wha would bear all this trouble and strife? / Wha but a silly woman?" I never liked that last line, but I love the song anyway.
