SONG: MAGGIE MAY
[Verses]
Wake up, Maggi
e, I think I g
ot some-thing
to say to you:
It's late Sept
ember and I re
ally should be
back at schoo
l.
I know I keep
you amused,
but I feel I'
m being used.
Oh, Maggie, I
couldn't have
tried any more
.
You lured me a
way from home,
just to sa
ve you from be
ing alone.
You stole
my heart and t
hat's what rea
lly hurts.
The mornin
g sun, when it
's in your fac
e really shows
your age.
But that don't
worry me none
; in my eyes y
ou're everythi
ng.
I laughed at a
ll of your jok
es, my love yo
u didn't need
to coax,
Oh, Maggie
I couldn't ha
ve tried any m
ore.
You lured me a
way from home,
just to sa
ve you from be
ing alone.
You stol
e my soul that
's a pain I ca
n do without.
All I ne
ed was a frien
d to lend a gu
iding hand.
But you turned
into a lover
and Mother wha
t a lover your
wore me out.
All you did wa
s wreck my bed
, and in the m
orning kick me
in the head,
Oh, Mag
gie I couldn't
have tried an
y more.
You lur
ed me away fro
m home, 'c
ause you did'n
t want to be a
lone.
You sto
le my heart I
couldn't leave
you if I trie
d.
I suppo
se I could col
lect my books
and get back t
o school.
Or steal my da
ddy's cue and
make a living
out of playing
pool.
Or find myself
a rock and ro
ll band that n
eeds a helping
hand,
Oh, Maggi
e, I wish I'd
never seen you
r face.
You made a fir
st class fool
out of me,
but I'm as bli
nd as a fool c
an be.
You stole my h
eart, but I lo
ve you anyway.
Maggie, I wish
I never seen
your face.
I'll g
et on back hom
e one of these
days.
