Thread Name: Lyr Req: Farewell to Mrs. Magee? / Sailor's Wife?
Subject: Lyrics:Farewell to Mrs. Magee
I'm looking for the lyrics to an Irish(?) song I used to hear sung by Dominic Murray of Baltimore. It's about a sailor's wife who enjoys herself more when her husband's off at sea; the chorus goes: "So keep an eye on the weather-cock, The other one out to sea; The day you spy the ship come home Farewell to Mrs. Magee!"
