about

Original melody in the instrumental sections by Tom Espinola

lyrics

Oh yonder stands Little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hand
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courtin' some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A-shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time I saw Little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old guitar ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty girls were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Then to know you're another man's darling
And no longer a darling of mine

Sometimes I have a nickel
And sometimes I have a dime
Sometimes I've got ten dollars
Just to pay Little Maggie's fine

Go away, go away Little Maggie
Go do the best you can
I'll get me another woman
You can go and get you another man
