"Maggie Mae" lyrics
"Maggie Mae"
Oh dirty Maggie Mae they have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her for robbing a homeward bounder
That dirty no good robbing Maggie Mae
This is a part of Liverpool, they returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay
Writer(s): George Harrison, Paul James McCartney, John Winston Lennon, Richard Starkey
"Maggie" is British slang for "prostitute", and the song is a traditional folk song in Liverpool where prostitutes usually worked on Lime Street.
The band played this song even before they became The Beatles and were called The Quarrymen.
This song isn't included in "Let It Be... Naked" album (2003).
The song is sung by Paul McCartney's character (Uncle Jack) in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" (2017).
