Intro: A, A, A, E, E, E, E, E,
AOh, where is little Maggie
EOver yonder she stands,
DRifle on her shoulder,
ESix-shooter in her hand.
AHow can I ever stand it,
EJust to see them two blue eyes,
DShinin' like some diamonds,
ELike some diamonds in the sky.
ARather be in some lonely hollow
EWhere the sun don't ever shine,
DThan to see you be another man's darling,
AAnd to know that you'll never be mine.
AWell, it's march me away to the station
EWith my suitcase in my hand,
DYes, march me away to the station,
AI'm off to some far-distant land.
ASometimes I have a nickel,
EAnd sometimes I have a dime,
DSometimes I have ten dollars,
AJust to pay for little Maggie's wine.
APretty flowers are made for blooming,
EPretty stars are made to shine,
D
Pretty girls are made for boy's love,
ALittle Maggie was made for mine.
AWell, yonder stands little Maggie
EWith a dram glass in her hand,
DShe's a drinkin' down her troubles
AOver courtin' some other man.

Intro: , , , , , , , ,

Oh, where is little Maggie

Over yonder she stands,

Rifle on her shoulder,

Six-shooter in her hand.

How can I ever stand it,

Just to see them two blue eyes,

Shinin' like some diamonds,

Like some diamonds in the sky.

Rather be in some lonely hollow

Where the sun don't ever shine,

Than to see you be another man's darling,

And to know that you'll never be mine.

Well, it's march me away to the station

With my suitcase in my hand,

Yes, march me away to the station,

I'm off to some far-distant land.

Sometimes I have a nickel,

And sometimes I have a dime,

Sometimes I have ten dollars,

Just to pay for little Maggie's wine.

Pretty flowers are made for blooming,

Pretty stars are made to shine,

Pretty girls are made for boy's love,

Little Maggie was made for mine.

Well, yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hand,

She's a drinkin' down her troubles

Over courtin' some other man.
