Maggie May (Early Version)

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you It's late September, and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts The morning sun, when it's in your face, really shows your age But that don't worry me none, in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover, and, mother, what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home 'cause you didn't wanna be alone You stole my heart, I couldn't leave you if I tried I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock 'n' roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh, Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me, but I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart, but I love you anyway Maggie, I wished I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days Whoo-hoo-hoo
