Maggie

I wandered today to the hill, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the rusty old mill, Maggie
Where we sat so long, long ago
Our old house is gone from the hill, Maggie
And I thought of the songs that were sung
In those sweet days gone by, long ago, Maggie
When you and I were young

The violet was scenting the wood, Maggie
Displaying her charms to the bee
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut blooms gleam in the glade, Maggie
The robin sang loud in the tree
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

They say we have outlived our years, Maggie
We're dated like songs that we sung
To me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young

When you and I were young
