Maggie Mae
Beatles · Let it be
Oh, dirty Maggie Mae
they have taken her away
and she'll never walk
down Lime Street anymore
Oh, the judge she guilty found her
of robbing the homeward bounder
dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
It's the part of Liverpool
She returned me to
Two pound ten a week
that was my pay
they have taken her away
and she'll never walk
down Lime Street anymore
Oh, the judge she guilty found her
of robbing the homeward bounder
dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
It's the part of Liverpool
She returned me to
Two pound ten a week
that was my pay
