I’ve always loved this recording. Yes, it’s short but that is it’s charm. J & P’s vocals are great and the abrupt, stumbling ending is humorous, which is just so Beatles.

Seems the Beatles Bible has forgotten the version on Let It Be… Naked, Fly On The Wall. It is shorter than the official release because it only features the first verse before it segues into Fancy My Chances. However, it is notable in that it only features John and Paul on acoustic guitars, both John and Paul share the vocals, and it is at a much faster tempo.

I always thought the lyric was “that no good, rotten lovin’ Maggie Mae.” That’s a very Lennony lyric and I think I like it better that way.

“‘Tis the PORT of Liverpool…” if you’re hearing “part” that’s just Lennon’s exaggerated Scouse vocal. The traditional song is about sailors on shore leave finding long denied entertainment.
Not sure about the next line either… it’s… something… can’t decide… “…turned/turns me tool” again fitting with the returning sailor making use of ladies of the night.

It seems to me, that it would be appropriate to mention, that Harrison’s part is, in fact, functionally the bas-guitar’s part (inspite the fact, that he plays the electric guitar). The fact is obvious for everybody, who studied the basics of musical theory and possesses the ear to hear :).

P.S. Thanks a lot for your site. I’ve used it much writing the articles about Beatles’ songs for the russian wikipedia (of course, with a lot of references).

They should have released the medley with fancy my chances with you on let it be, i think it’s a better maggie mae recording plus the funny fancy my chances with you suitable to the back to basics thing (as it’s a pre-fame song)
