Little Maggie
Ricky Skaggs · Bluegrass Rules [Rounder] [1997]
(Bill Monroe)
Oh, yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hand
She's drinkin' away her troubles
She's a-courtin' another man.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
--- Instrumental ---
Pretty flowers were made for bloomin'
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for lovin'
Little Maggie was made for mine.
--- Instrumental ---
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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...
