MAGGIE MAE
(Irish Rovers' version)

Chorus:
Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away
And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore
You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers
You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae

Gather round ye sailor boys and listen to my plea
When you hear tale I know you'll pity me
For I was a bloody fool, in the port of Liverpool
The first time that I came home from the sea

Chorus
Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away
And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore
You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers
You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae

I never will forget, the night when first we met
I was walking down along old Kenning Place
When a figure so divine, like a frigate on the line
The kind of girl a sailor likes to chase

Chorus
Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away
And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore
You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers
You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae

Well, I woke up in me bed, with a thundering in me head
All my clothes and me money stole away
And as I walked along the street, all the ladies I did meet
Said, "You'll find them down in pawn shop number nine."

Chorus
Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away
And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore
You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers
You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae

Chorus
Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away
And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore
You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers
You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae
