Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Maggie Dear

Maggie, Dear

Maggie, Dear

Maggie dear just won't go out alone,
Seems that she must have a chaperon,
When we go out, no matter where we're bound,
There's always somebody around.

cho: She brings her father, her mother,
     Her sister and her brother,
     Oh I never see Maggie alone,
     She brings her uncles and cousins,
     She's got 'em by the dozens,
     I never see Maggie alone,

And if I phone her, say to her, Sweet
Where shall we meet
Supposing that we eat,
She brings her father, her mother,
Her sister and her brother,
Oh I never see Maggie alone.

She brings her father, her mother,
Her sister and her brother,
Oh I never see Maggie alone.
One night while we were out walking
And she's got tired talking,
She invited me up to her home,

I turned the lights down,
They were too bright,
Oh what a night,
When I turned on the light
She brings her father, her mother,
Her sister and her brother,
Oh I never see Maggie alone.

She brings her father, her mother,
Her sister and her brother,
Oh I never see Maggie alone.
In a canoe then we two then
Went cruising down the river
We were a long way from home.

I threw the line in
Then I gave a shout
Thought I had a trout
I pulled the line right out
There was her father, her mother,
Her sister and her brother,
Oh I never see Maggie alone.
No, I never see my Maggie alone.
