Little Maggie
trad., arr. Schonberg and Gustavson

Over yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hand
Drinkin’ down all her troubles
And courtin’ some other man

Oh, how can I even stand it
To see them two blue eyes
They’re sparklin’ like two diamonds
Like two diamonds in the sky

Pretty flowers were made for bloomin’
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for lovin’
Surely Maggie was made for mine

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Surely Maggie’s gonna dance for daddy
Now listen to that old banjo ring

Look away, look away without begging
Go and do the best you can
I got me another woman
You can get you another man.
