Have a nephew who, for some strange reason, is collecting as many versions of 'Maggie Mae' as possible.Has the regular one, but will take all the 'salty' ones some of you may know.
If you can help, please send me them in a PM.
Thanks.

Oh Maggie Maggie Mae, they have taken her away and she'll never walk down Lime street anymore. Well that judge he guilty found her, for robbin' a homeward--bounder, you dirty robbin' no good Maggie Mae.

Now I was paid off at the Pool, in the port of Liverpool. Well three pound ten a week that was my pay. With a pocket full of tin I was very soon taken in, by a gal with the name of Maggie Mae. Now the first time I saw Maggie she took my breath away, she was cruisin up and down in Canning Place.

She had a figure so divine her voice was so refined well being a sailor I gave chase. Now in the morning I awoke I was flat and stony broke. No jacket, trousers, waistcoat did I find. Oh and when I asked her "where?" she said "My very dear sir they're down in Kelly's pawnshop number nine".

To the pawnshop I did go, no clothes there did I find and the police they took that gal away from me. And the judge he guilty found her of robbin' a homeward-bounder she'll never walk down Lime Street anymore.

Oh Maggie Maggie Mae, they have taken her away and she'll never walk down Lime street anymore. Well that judge he guilty found her, for robbin' a homeward--bounder, you dirty robbin' no good Maggie Mae.

Somebody may remember the words to this,I've forgotten them now.
Oh the knickers Maggie wore they were ripped and they were tore ??????
When she hung them on the line the sun refused to shine
the red flannel draws that Maggie wore

" They were tattered they were torn

those old red flannel drawers that Maggie wore

hey were stained with gin and beer
they were split from c*** to rear

She hung them on the line
the sun refused to shine
those old red flannel drawers that Maggie wore.
