A humorous song about Watty and his wife, Meg, who nags and quarrels and scolds him within an inch of his life. One morning, after being yelled at in front of all his friends and dragged home by Meg after a night of drinking, he tells he is leaving her to join the army because she has driven him away with all her “flyting,” or quarreling. She begs him to stay and promises she will mind her tongue if only he won’t leave her and the children, which he agrees to after making her solemnly swear to give up her flyting forever.
