MAGGIE, MY OWN.
Copyright. 1895, by T. B. Harms & Co.
Words by Alice. Music by Andrew Mack.

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 or 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 far away, still I'll be near;
The light of your eyes my bright beacon will be,
And guide me to you, Maggie dear.- Chorus.
