MAGGIE
-Geo. W. Johnson
Music by J. A. Butterfield
I have wandered today to the hills Maggie
To watch the scene below
Oh, the creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie
Where we used to long long ago.
The green growth is gone from the hills, Maggie
Where once the daisy's sprung
Oh the creaking old mill is still, Maggie
Since you and I were young.
Oh they say that I'm feeble with age, Maggie
My steps are much slower than then
My face is a well written page, Maggie
And time all alone was the pen.
Chorus: They say we have outlived our time, Maggie
As dated as songs we have sung
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young!
