Chorus:
Oh, yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hand
She's a-drinkin' away her troubles
And courting another man
Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see those two blue eyes
They're shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky
Chorus
Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty girls were made for boys to love
Little Maggie was made for mine
Chorus
Sometimes I have a nickel
Sometimes I have a dime
Sometimes I have ten dollars
Just to pay little Maggie's fine
Chorus
Lay down your last ol' dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for Daddy
Listen to her banjo ring
Chorus
|
Oh the last time I saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With her forty four strapped around her
And a banjo on her knee
Chorus
I'm going down to the station
With my suitcase in my hand
I'm a-going to leave this country
I'm going to some far and distant land
Chorus
Go 'way, go 'way little Maggie
Go and do the best you can
I'll get me another woman
You can get you another man.
Chorus
Oh, I’d rather be in some dark hollow,
where the sun don’t never shine
Than to think that you love some other,
won’t be no little darling of mine.
Chorus
