Maggie May

Maggie Mae or Maggie May is a Liverpool folk song about one of the many "ladies of negotiable virtue" who frequented the docklands of that town, seeking clients, particularly sailors. The title character supplemented her income by robbing her clients.

A short fragment of this song is heard on the Let It Be album. This is said to be a callback to the Beatles' previous existence as the Quarrymen, when they would sometimes perform this song.

This song is unrelated to, and is not to be confused with, the Rod Stewart song of the same name.
