Mississippi Sheiks - Sweet Maggie Lyrics




Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

Where you been so long?

Tell me sweet Maggie

A-where you been so long?

It haven't been no lovin'

Since a-you been gone (home)



Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

Where'd you stay last night?

Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

A-where'd you stay last night?

You come home this mo'nin'

Sun was shinin' bright



I met sweet Maggie

'Way across that sea

I met sweet Maggie

A-way across that sea

She wouldn't write me no letters

She didn't care for me



Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

What you goin' a-do?

Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

A-what you goin' a-do?

Just a little bit a-lovin'

An let your heart be true



'Yeah!'



(fiddle & guitar)



Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

Dear pal a-mine

Sweet Maggie, sweet Maggie

A-dear pal a-mine

Now, she left me walkin'

Tears rollin' down, cryin'



If you see sweet Maggie

Tell her to hurry home

If you see sweet Maggie

Tell her to hurry home

It haven't been no lovin'

Times that you been gone



Tell me sweet Maggie

What's the matter, now?

Tell me, sweet Maggie

A-what's the matter, now?

You wouldn't write me no letters

You didn't love me no how



Goodbye sweet Maggie

Now, you fare you well

Goodbye sweet Maggie

Now, I declare you well

When I get back here

Can't anyone tell.
