MAGGIE MAGUIRE.

Of pretty girls the singers sing, and poets of them write,
But Jimmy Johnson has a girl, who's simply "out of sight;"
Indoors or out, be raves about their happy wedding day.
And seated by her side each night, he'll take her hand and say:
Chorus.
Oh! Maggie Magnire, believe me, my girl, I adore you;
My heart's all afire, And I'll do anything for you;
Name the day, don't turn me away, I'm lonely when you roam;
Say you'll be true, and I'll marry you as soon as I buy the home.
They often have a quarrel, just like others, her And Jim,
And then for days she'll pass him by, won't even nod to him;
Somehow they always "make up," though, when Jimmy to her brings
A little present, which he gives, as pleadingly be sings:-Chorus.
