I once had a true love | |
Her name was | |
Maggie Brown | |
Her eyes they were the color | |
Of the sun burning down | |
And she had hair that smelled like jasmine | |
I loved her from the start | |
How was I to know she'd have | |
A cold black heart | |
Well, Maggie was my true love | |
The only kiss | |
I knewI'd meet her at the oak tree | |
In the cool evening dew | |
Where we would walk beside the levee | |
Our fingers intertwined | |
While the crimson moon gazed through | |
The needles of the pines | |
We'd lay beside each other | |
Staring at the sky | |
Listenin' to the whistlin' | |
Of the train blowin' by | |
As it was on it's way to | |
MaconThe town where | |
I was born | |
We'd make love in the darkness' | |
Til the hours of the morn | |
Waterfalls and rainbows | |
Sweet salvation sin | |
As I lay there sleeping | |
Against her golden skin | |
My friends now gather around | |
And listen close the story takes a turn | |
I wasn't fair young | |
Maggie'sOnly lover | |
I did learn | |
I went down by the oak tree | |
Lookin' for my lass | |
And walked east towards the levee | |
With the sunset in my past | |
And then I ran through briers and brambles | |
Until I finally found | |
My Maggie and her true love | |
There lyin' on the ground | |
My eyes they filled with fire | |
They didn't see me there | |
I watched as she made love to him | |
Caressed him with her hair | |
I don't remember how it happened | |
I guess I just saw red | |
I drew my pistol from my belt | |
And shot them graveyard dead | |
I once loved a maiden | |
Her name was | |
Maggie Brown | |
But now I'm riding on a boxcar | |
Back to Macon town | |
The setting sun will never let me forget | |
What deed | |
I have done | |
Until the day they hunt me down | |
I'm livin' on the run |
