Verse 1
her name was Maggie Brown
Her eyes they were the color
of the sun burning down
And she had hair that smelled like jasmine,
Verse 2
have a cold black heart

Well Maggie was my true love,
our fingers intertwined

the needles of the pines
staring at the sky
Listenin' to the whistlin'
The town where I was born
We'd make love in the darkness,

Waterfalls and rainbows, sweet salvation sin
As I lay there sleeping
against her golden skin,

around and listen close
The story takes a turn I wasn't fair young

Maggie's only 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 briars 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

Verse 5
I once loved a maiden her
name was Maggie Brown
back to Macon town
forget what deed I have done
Until the day they hunt me down,
I'm livin' on the run
