[Magdalen] The word “me”

[Mahoney, W. Michael]

*Who's that knocking at my door, *
*Who's that knocking at my door?*
*Said the fair young maiden.*

*It's me, it's me.*
*I'm home from the sea,*
*Said Barnacle Bill, the sailor.*

*If you love me, say it's I,*
*If you love me, say it's I.*
*Said the fair young maiden.*

*Aye, aye, said he, *
*And now we agree.*
*Said Barnacle Bill, the sailor.*
*           (from my misspent childhood)*

*Mike M*
