The words are:
1.
I wandered today by the hill, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie
Where we used roam long ago
The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie
Where first the daisies sprung
The creaking old mill is still, Maggie
When you and I were young
2.
A city so silent and lone, Maggie
Where the young and the gay and the best
In polished white mansions of stone, Maggie
Have each found a place of rest
Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie
And join in the songs that were sung
For we sang as gay as they, Maggie
When you and I were young
3
They say that we're feeble with age, Maggie
Our steps are less sprightly than then
Your face is a well written page, Maggie
But time, time alone was the pen
And now that we're aged and grey, Maggie
And trails of life nearly done
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young
(or) Since you and I were young
