That's All Right For McGilligan 1910 Kern

Bridget Harrigan wed McGilligan
thinking things would be O.K.
They they settled down
in their little flat
she's not seen him since that day:
here's their little flat,
to the right of it
stands a beautiful saloon:
to the left of it
stands the Station House,
Open morning, night and noon.

Now what I want to know is this,
I can't tell on my life,
should we be sorry for McGilligan,
or sorry for McGilligan's wife?
He's never home,
he's either getting drunk,
in the gin mill on the right,
or in the Station House upon the left;
He's locked up all night, Tight!
That's all right for McGilligan
but how about McGilligan's wife?

Now what I want to know is this,
I can't tell on my life,
should we be sorry for McGilligan,
or sorry for McGilligan's wife?
He's never home,
he's either getting drunk,
in the gin mill on the right,
or in the Station House upon the left;
He's locked up all night, Tight!
That's all right for McGilligan
but how about McGilligan's wife?

One way Mrs. Mac. has advantages
over other wives alright,
one look at the clock,
she knows where he is,
any hour both day and night;
can't she get him out?
Does she want him out?
Is he near enough next door?
A.M. on the left,
P.M. on the right,
and as I have said before.

Now what I want to know is this,
I can't tell on my life,
should we be sorry for McGilligan,
or sorry for McGilligan's wife?
He's never home,
he's either getting drunk,
in the gin mill on the right,
or in the Station House upon the left;
He's locked up all night, Tight!
That's all right for McGilligan
but how about McGilligan's wife?

Now what I want to know is this,
I can't tell on my life,
should we be sorry for McGilligan,
or sorry for McGilligan's wife?
He's never home,
he's either getting drunk,
in the gin mill on the right,
or in the Station House upon the left;
He's locked up all night, Tight!
That's all right for McGilligan
but how about McGilligan's wife?
