Little Maggie
Little Maggie's Dance of Love: A Banjo Serenade
Lyrics
Over yonder stands little Maggie
Little Maggie is standing over there.
With a dram glass in her hands
She holds a small drinking glass.
She's drinking away her troubles
She's consuming alcohol to cope with her problems.
She's a courting another man
She's romantically involved with another man.
Sometimes I have a nickel
Sometimes I possess a small amount of money.
Sometimes I have a dime
At times I have a dime in my possession.
Sometimes I have ten dollars
Occasionally, I have a larger sum of ten dollars.
I'm gonna pay little Maggie's fine
I plan to use money to settle Little Maggie's legal obligations.
Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Beautiful flowers naturally blossom.
Pretty stars were made to shine
The purpose of pretty stars is to shine.
Pretty women were made for loving
Attractive women are meant to be loved.
Little Maggie was made for mine
The singer believes Little Maggie is meant for him.
Lay down your last gold dollar
Surrender your final gold coin.
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Give up your valuable watch and chain.
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Little Maggie will dance for her lover.
Listen to this old banjo ring
Listen to the sounds of the old banjo.
Go away, go away, little Maggie
Leave, depart, Little Maggie.
Go and do the best you can
Go and make the best choices you can.
I'll get me another woman
The singer will seek another romantic partner.
You can get you another man
Little Maggie is free to find another man.
