Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
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 shinin in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky


Last time a saw little Maggie
She was standin' on the banks of the sea

With a forty-four strapped 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 banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming

Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty girls were made for lovin'
Little Maggie was made for mine
