Oh yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hands

She's drinking away her troubles

She's a courting 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 a 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 banjo ring



Pretty flowers were made for blooming

Pretty stars were made to shine

Pretty women were made for loving

Little Maggie was made for mine
