LITTLE MAGGIE MAY
C. Blamphin

The spring had come, the flowers in bloom
The birds sang out their lay
Down by a little running brook
I first saw Maggie May
She had a roguish jet black eye, was singing all the day
And how I loved her none can tell
My little Maggie May

CHORUS:
My little Maggie, witching Maggie
Singing all the day
Oh how I love her none can tell
My little Maggie May

Though years rolled on yet still I love
With heart so light and gay
And never will this heart deceive
My own dear Maggie May
When others thought that life was gone, and death would take away
Still by my side did linger one
And that was Maggie May
(chorus)

May Heaven protect me for her sake
I pray both night and day
That I 'ere long may call her mine
My own dear Maggie May
For she is all the world to me, although I'm far away
I oftimes think of the running brook
And little Maggie May
(chorus)
