Little Maggie - Ralph Stanley

Oh yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hands

She’s drinking away her troubles

She’s a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it

Just to see them two blue eyes

A shining in the moonlight

Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie

She was sitting on the banks of the sea

With a forty-four around her

And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar

Lay down your gold watch and chain

Little Maggie’s gonna dance for daddy

Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming

Pretty stars were made to shine

Pretty women were made for loving

Little Maggie was made for mine
