Slogmåkane feat. Karl Johan Gundersen Maggie May song lyrics
Now gather round you sailor boys, and listen to my plea
And when you've heard my tale, you'll pity me
For I was a real damned fool in the port of Liverpool
The first time that I come home from sea
We paid off at the home from the port of Sierra Leone
And four pounds in a month that was me pay
With a pocket full of tin I was very soon taken in
By a girl with the name of Maggie May
Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For she robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers
That dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May
Oh, well I do remember when I first met Maggie May
She was cruising up and down ol' Canning Place
With a figure so divine, like a frigate of the line
And me being just a sailor, I gave chase
Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For she robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers
That dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May
Next morning when I awoke, I was flat and stoney broke
No jacket, trousers, waistcoat I could find
When I asked her where they were she said "My very dear sir,
They're down in Kelly's knock' in number nine"
Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For she robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers
That dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May
To the pawnshop I did go
but no clothes there could I find
The policeman came and took that girl away
And the judge he guilty found her
Of robbing a homeward–bounder
And paid her passage back to Botany Bay
Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For she robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers
That dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May
Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken her away
And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For she robbed so many sailors and captains of the whalers
That dirty, robbin' no good Maggie May
