Sweet Maggie

Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 Where you been so long?
 Tell me sweet Maggie
 A-where you been so long?
 It haven't been no lovin'
 Since a-you been gone (home)
 Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 Where'd you stay last night?
 Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 A-where'd you stay last night?
 You come home this mo'nin'
 Sun was shinin' bright
 I met sweet Maggie
 'Way across that sea
 I met sweet Maggie
 A-way across that sea
 She wouldn't write me no letters
 She didn't care for me
 Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 What you goin' a-do?
 Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 A-what you goin' a-do?
 Just a little bit a-lovin'
 An let your heart be true
 'Yeah!'
 (fiddle & guitar)
 Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 Dear pal a-mine
 Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie
 A-dear pal a-mine
 Now, she left me walkin'
 Tears rollin' down, cryin'
 If you see sweet Maggie
 Tell her to hurry home
 If you see sweet Maggie
 Tell her to hurry home
 It haven't been no lovin'
 Times that you been gone
 Tell me sweet Maggie
 What's the matter, now?
 Tell me, sweet Maggie
 A-what's the matter, now?
 You wouldn't write me no letters
 You didn't love me no how
 Goodbye sweet Maggie
 Now, you fare you well
 Goodbye sweet Maggie
 Now, I declare you well
 When I get back here
 Can't anyone tell.
