Lyrics

Oh, yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hand

She's drinkin' away her troubles

She's a-courtin' another man


Last time I saw little Maggie

She was sittin' on the banks of the sea

With a forty-four all around her

And a banjo on her knee


Pretty flowers were made for bloomin'

Pretty stars were made to shine

Pretty women were made for lovin'

Little Maggie was made for mine


Lay down your last gold dollar

Lay down your gold watch and chain

Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy

Listen to that ol' banjo ring


Go away, go away, little Maggie

Go and do the best you can

I'll get me another woman

You can get you another man
