"Maggie" lyrics

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie she's the prettiest girl in town
All the boys try to court her but she always turns them down
She swoops like a swallow and she's dancing in the barn
With her head up in the rafters and her feet pounding on the boards

Oh Maggie she's a wildflower everybody knows
You can't pick her you can't plant her you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie slips out late at night
Goes waltzing by the river with the stars in her eyes
You'd chance her for a phantom if you saw her on the banks
Oh Maggie mine in a white lace dress where the wild river sings

Oh Maggie she's a wildflower everybody knows
You can't pick her you can't plant her you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie sitting in the tallest tree
Smoking on a cigarette yeah she has no time for me
She's further than the forest when I'm standing in the field
And all the prairie ghosts are crying because they know just how I feel

Oh Maggie she's a wildflower everybody knows
You can't pick her you can't plant her you can't tell her where to grow
Oh Maggie she's a wildflower everybody knows
You can't pick her you can't plant her you can't tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie she's the prettiest girl in town
All the boys try to court her but she always turns them down
She swoops like a swallow when she's dancing in the barn
With her head up in the rafters in her feet pounding on the boards
