Maggie

Words and Music by George W. Johnson and James Austin Butterfield




Performed by Darren Holden

I wandered today to the hills, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie
Where we used to love long ago
The green grove is gone from the hills, Maggie
Where first the daisies sprung
The creaking old mill it is still, Maggie
Since you and I were young.


Oh they say I'm feeble with age, Maggie
My steps are much slower than then
My face is a well-written page, Maggie
And time all alone was the pen
They say we have outlived our times, Maggie
As dated as the songs we have sung
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young.
