Maggie On My Mind (single)

I woke up with Little Maggie on my mind
Get caught up in this feeling from time to time
I thought I found another, but no tougher I can find
Once again down in the valley, Little Maggie’s on my mind

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss her anymore
Our daddies mined together, loaded carts with copper ore
Maggie lost it the day her dad was killed in Eagle Mine
She stepped out in the darkness and left me here behind

In the night we’d slip off dancing to the band at Andrews’ Ball
Come Sunday, she’d be the first to the altar when it called
Now she’s stepping toe to toe with any man that wants a fight
The devils got her working, wrecking homes and drinking shine

I woke up with Little Maggie on my mind
I get caught up in this feeling from time to time
I thought I found another, but no tougher I can find
Once again down in the valley, Little Maggie’s on my mind

I’ll die another victim of a heartache I can’t shake
Drowning in her memories, like our town below the lake
Pick a song on the banjo, put her picture in my hand
Just sink me to the bottom of this flooded miner’s land

I woke up with Little Maggie on my mind
Get caught up in this feeling from time to time
I thought I found another, but no tougher I can find
Once again down in the valley, Little Maggie’s on my mind
