Maggie

Oh Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, she's the prettiest girl in town

All the boys try to court her but she always turns them down

She swoops like a swallow and she's dancing in the barn

With her head up in the rafters and her feet pounding on the boards

And oh, Maggie, she's a wildflower, everybody knows

You can't pick her, you can't plant her, you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie, Maggie, Maggie slips out late at night

Goes waltzing by the river with the stars in her eyes

You'd chance her for a phantom if you saw her on the banks

Oh, Maggie mine, in a white lace dress where the wild river sings

Oh Maggie, she's a wildflower, everybody knows

You can't pick her, you can't plant her, you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, sitting in the tallest tree

Smoking on a cigarette, yeah, she's got no time for me

She's further than the forest when I'm standing in the fields

And all the prairie ghosts are crying because they know just how I feel

Oh Maggie, she's a wildflower, everybody knows

You can't pick her, you can't plant her, you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie, she's a wildflower, everybody knows

You can't pick her, you can't plant her, you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, she's the prettiest girl in town

All the boys try to court her but she always turns them down

She swoops like a swallow when she's dancing in the barn

With her head up in the rafters in her feet pounding on the boards
