Lyrics
Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, 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 May
Gather 'round you sailor boys and listen to my plea
When you've heard my tale I know you'll pity me
I was a bloody fool in the port of Liverpool
First time that I came home from the sea
Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, 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 May
Well, I never will forget how the night when first we met
I was walking down along Old Canning Place
When a figure so divine, like a frigate on the line
The kind of girl a sailor likes to chase
Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, 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 May
Well, I woke up in my bed with a thunderin' in my head
All my clothes and my money stole away
As I walked along the street all the ladies I did meet
Said, "You'll find them down in Pawnshop Number Nine"
Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, 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 May
She was chained and sent away from Liverpool one day
All the lads did cheer as she sailed down the bay
And every sailor lad, he only was too glad
They'd sent off that old whore to Botany Bay
Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, 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 May
Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, 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 May
You're a dirty rotten no-good Maggie May
