Little Maggie - Bill Monroe

(Traditional)

Oh yonder stands little Maggie

With a dram glass in her hands

She's drinking away her troubles

She's a courtin' some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it

Just to see them two blue eyes

A shinin in the moonlight

Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie

She was standin' on the banks of the sea

With a forty-four strapped around her

And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar

Lay down your gold watch and chain

Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy

Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming

Pretty stars were made to shine

Pretty girls were made for lovin'

Little Maggie was made for mine
