Maggie - Andy Stewart

Maggie Lyrics

When I first set eyes on you
First you beat me up
Then you kissed me tooWe'd throw stones into the sea
There were no others there
Just you and meAcross the bridge
And down the lane
I knew I loved you then
You said you did the sameOh Maggie
What have you done?
I should have seen it coming
And to your side I'd runOh Maggie
Come to me tonight
I will wait up for you
Make sure you're alright
I miss youYou taught me how to sink or swim
When I was scared that day
You just pushed me inAnd when nobody was around
You let me kiss you then

And there the love I foundI said, I'd never let you go
You just smiled at me
How was I to knowOh Maggie
What am I to do?
How can I live with only memories of you?Oh Maggie
Tell me the truth
When your ship was sinking
Did you think it through?
I miss youYou were the fountain of my youth
And when I fumbled
You showed me what to doAnd when we were both 17
You left me standing there
But you were never meanAnd when I saw you out with him
He looked much older
And you looked very thinI hadn't heard from you in years
And then your mama called
She couldn't speak for tearsShe said you left me a note
Inside my pocket burns
With these words you wroteHey, darlin' boy
Don't you cry for me
I am forever yours
Now that I am freeWe'll be together
Throw stones into the sea
There'll be no others there
Just you and meI miss you
Maggie's goneI think you came the other night
You stroked my brow
Your eyes were full of lightIt may have only been a dream
When I will walk with you
To places I never have beenMaggie's gone
