Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie where you bin so long
Tell me sweet Maggie where you bin so long
There hasn’t bin no lovin since you bin gone.

Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie where’d you stay last night
Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie where’d you stay last night
You come home this morning the sun was shining bright.

I met sweet Maggie way across that sea
I met sweet Maggie way across that sea
She wouldn’t write me no letter she didn’t care about me.

Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie what you gonna do
Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie what you gonna do
Just a little bit of lovin and let your heart be true.

Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie dear pal of mine
Sweet Maggie sweet Maggie dear pal of mine
Nowt you left me walkin tears rollin down and cryin.

If you see sweet Maggie tell her to hurry home
If you see sweet Maggie tell her to hurry home
There hasn’t bin no lovin since you bin gone.

Tell me sweet Maggie what’s the matter now
Tell me sweet Maggie what’s the matter now
You didn’t write me no letter you didn’t love me no how.

Goodbye sweet Maggie now you fare so well
Goodbye sweet Maggie now I declare you well
When I get back here can’t anyone tell.
