Spelling Maggie May The following all use the spelling 'Maggie May' for the traditional song

  1. Liverpool Spinners
  2. Gerry Jones local musician
  3. BBC
  4. Lionel Bart who wrote a musical in 1964
  5. Ron Clarke local musician
  6. Some Australian references
  7. The Liverpool Post recognises it although I have not found a direct use.
  8. Stan Hugill

The Beatles used 'Maggie Mae' but nobody else does so a cross reference is needed but really, it is quite misleading to use the spelling 'Maggie Mae' for the traditional song. mikeL 27:11:05 These are two totally unconnected songs. They should not be in the same article. I'll split it into two. --kingboyk 01:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Although I'm a Beatles fan, most of the incoming links are for Rod Stewart. Therefore I'll leave Rod's song here and create a new page for the Liverpool trad song, and redirect Maggie Mae there. --kingboyk 01:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

O.K. But I wonder if anyone knows where Stewart got his song title from. Many fine songs have evolved over decades or centuries (the unfortunate rake, foggy dew, goodnight Irene , Delia gone, etc. etc. and others too coarse for respectable occasions ) so maybe Stewart was influenced in some small way. He would surely have known Lionel Barts musical. Was there something symbolic in his choosing the name of a well known albeit fictional, prostitute ? mikeL 3:3:06 The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Rod Stewart and.....Beyonce.
