Pogues Maggie May
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got something to say to you.
It's late September, and I really should be back at
school.
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home just to save you from being
alone.
You stole my heart, and that's what really hurts.
The morning sun when it's in your face really shows
your age,
But that don't worry me none. In my eyes you're
everything.
I laughed at all of your jokes; my love, you didn't
need to coax.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
You led me away from home, just to save you from being
alone.
You stole my soul, and that's a pain I can do without.
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
But you turned into a lover, and
mother, what a lover! you wore me out!
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head.
Oh Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore.
You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be
alone
You stole my heart. I couldn't leave you if I tried.
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to
school,
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of
playing pool,
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a
helpin' hand.
Oh Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
You made a first-class fool out of me,
But I'm as blind as a fool can be.
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
I'll get on back home one of these days.
