Little Jack Melody & His Young Turks Maggie, With Green Eyes
Here's to the one the angels set free
Raise up your glass, this one's on me
I was lost and adrift between heaven and hell
Till Maggie, with green eyes
Who loved me so well
There is a night that is deep as the sea
I cursed the dark, no candle for me
So I stumbled along till I stumbled and fell
For Maggie, with green eyes
Who loved me so well
And Jesus and Mary and Martha all cried
When their Lazarus left them alone
And I think I know now how Lazarus felt
When his Jesus rolled back the stone
I used to dare love to give me a sign
Show me its face, make someone mine
Have a drink with a man with a story to tell
Of Maggie, with green eyes
Who loved me so well
