Chorus: Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae
Gather round ye sailor boys and listen to my plea When you hear tale I know you'll pity me For I was a bloody fool, in the port of Liverpool The first time that I came home from the sea
Chorus Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae
I never will forget, the night when first we met I was walking down along old Kenning Place When a figure so divine, like a frigate on the line The kind of girl a sailor likes to chase
Chorus Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae
Well, I woke up in me bed, with a thundering in me head All my clothes and me money stole away And as I walked along the street, all the ladies I did meet Said, "You'll find them down in pawn shop number nine."
Chorus Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae
Chorus Oh, Maggie, Maggie Mae, they have taken you away And you'll never walk down Lang Street anymore You robbed so many sailors, and the captains of the whalers You're a dirty, rotten, no good, Maggie Mae.
