Went everywhere.......anyone got the ABC on The Sailors Wife? Too fast for me to learn by ear. GIF works by email, too. Thanks ever so much, all.

Assuming you mean the jig of that name, you'd have found it at  J C's Tunefinder if you'd put in the apostrophe:

Sailor's Wife

On the other hand, the search routine at  The Fiddler's Companion doesn't work with apostrophes, so there you have to search for "sailor wife"; which will also get you an abc, and some background information.
