Lyrics
I dreamt all last night, oh bad 'cess to my dreaming
I'd die if I thought t'would come surely to pass
I dreamt while the tears down my pillow were rolling
That Maggie was courting from another young Lad
And didn't I wake with a weeping and a wailing
The pain in my heart was too deep to conceal
And all I could answer was: Maggie O'Neill
I've see the old cabin beyond the wee boreen
I've see the old crossroads where we used to dance
I ramble the lane where she called me her story
And my foolish heart was so full of romance
But now all is so dark and so dreary
All dark and all silent, no piper, no reel
Not even the sun through the casement shines cheery
Since I lost my darling Girl, Maggie O'Neill
Shall I ever forget when the big ship was ready
And the time it was come for my love to depart
How I cried like a child, oh goodbye to you, Maggie
With a tear on my cheek and a stone in my heart
She said t'was to better her fate, she went roaming
But what would be gold to the Love I would feel
If she'd only come back to me tender and loving
Yet poor but my own, darling Maggie O'Neill
