She's drinking away her troubles
She was standin' on the banks of the sea
Just to see them two blue eyes
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Oh, how can I ever stand it?
Lay down your last gold dollar
Like two diamonds in the sky
Pretty stars were made to shine
Last time a saw little Maggie
And a banjo on her knee
A shinin' in the moonlight
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Pretty girls were made for lovin'
Pretty flowers were made for blooming
With a forty-four strapped around her
She's a courtin' some other man
Listen to that old banjo ring
