Maggie, my own; Maggie, my dear,
Happy am I when you are nigh,
I love you more and more.
Dry that bright tear, be of good cheer:
Wherever I wander, though years may roll on,
You've a place In my heart, Maggie dear.
Chorus.
Maggie, my own: Maggie, my dear,
Happy am I when you are nigh, I love you more and more;
Oh' light of my life, be my little wife,
My own sweet Maggie Asthore.
Maggie, my own; Maggie, my dear,
By night and day for you I'll pray;
Think of me, love, alone.
Though for away, still I'll be near;
The light of your eyes my bright beacon will be,
And guide me to you, Maggie dear- Chorus.
