American Old Time Song Lyrics: 15 Way Down In Maine

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 15

WAY DOWN IN MAINE.

There was a girl in our town,
'Way down in Maine,
She loved a man named Billy Brown,
'Way down in Maine;
The neighbors said she was insane,
But she loved her Billy just the same,
And Bill he loved his Susan Jane,
'Way down in Maine.

Chorus.
'Way down in Maine,
'Way down in Maine,
How I love that pretty yaller gal,
'Way down in Maine.

She was clerk in a hardware store,
'Way down in Maine,
And her heart with love was very sore,
'Way down in Maine;
She stole the arm of an eight-day clock.
And Bill stole chickens by the flock,
Now they're both in jail under a lock,
'Way down in Maine.-Chorus.

Oh, they let Bill out when he served his time,
'Way down in Maine,
And Bill sent the judge a valentine,
'Way down in Maine;
He took his girl out in a sleigh.
And he asked her to marry the very next day,
But the horse took fright and ran away,
'Way down in Maine.-Chorus.
