Foster And Allen Version
I[E] wandered today to the[A] hills maggie,to[E] watch the scene be[B]low,
The[E] creek and the creeking old[A] mill maggie,as[E] we used to[B] long,long[E] ago,
The[A] green grove is gone from the[E] hills Maggie,where[B] once the[F7] dasies [B]grow
The[E] creeking old[D7] mill is[A] still Maggie,since[E] you and[B] I were[E] young.
[2]
[E]Oh they say that I am feeble with [A]age Maggie,
My [E]steps are much slower that [B]then,
My [E]face is a well written [A]page Maggie,
And [E]time all a[B]lone was the [E]pen.
[3]
They [A]say we have outlived our [E]time Maggie
As [B]dated as [F#]songs that [B]we've sung,
But to [E]me your as fair as you [A]were Maggie,
When [E]you and [B]I were [E]young.
I[D] wandered today to the[G] hills maggie,to[D] watch the scene be[A]low,

The[D] creeking old[D7] mill is[G] still Maggie,since[D] you and[A7] I were[D] young.
[2]
Oh they say that I am feeble with age Maggie,
My steps are much slower that then,
My face is a well written page Maggie,
And time all alone was the pen.
[3]
They say we have outlived our time Maggie
As dated as songs that we've sung,
But to me your as fair as you were Maggie,
When you and I were young.
The[D] creek and the creeking old[G] mill maggie,as[D] we used to[A7] long,long[D] ago,

My Maggie song lyrics
My Irish Maggie, with hair so red
Her eyes like emeralds, they shine so bright
She's got a smile that could light up the night
And a heart as pure as the Irish sky
Chorus:
Oh my Irish Maggie, won't you stay
With your laughter and your Irish ways
You've stolen my heart, I hope you'll never stray
My Irish Maggie, you're my lucky charm today

With her freckles sprinkled like a field of clovers
And a spirit wild and free
She's got a love for life, like no other
My Irish Maggie, she's all I'll ever need

Oh my Irish Maggie, won't you stay
With your laughter and your Irish ways
You've stolen my heart, I hope you'll never stray

From the land of green, she came to me
And I thank the stars above
For sending me my Irish Maggie
The one I'll forever love
