Oh Maggie Maggie May they have taken her away

And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore

Well that judge he guilty found her for robbin' a homeward–bounder

You dirty robbin' no good Maggie May

Now I was paid off at the Pool in the port of Liverpool

Well three pound ten a week that was my pay

With a pocket full of tin I was very soon taken in

By a gal with the name of Maggie May

Now the first time I saw Maggie she took my breath away

She was cruising up and down in Canning Place

She had a figure so divine her voice was so refined

Well being a sailor I gave chase

Now in the morning I awoke I was flat and stony broke

No jacket trousers waistcoat did I find

Oh and when I asked her where She said "My very dear sir

They're down in Kelly's pawnshop number nine"

To the pawnshop I did go no clothes there did I find

And the police they took that gal away from me

And the judge he guilty found her of robbin' a homeward-bounder

She'll never walk down Lime Street anymore

Oh Maggie Maggie May they have taken her away

And she'll never walk down Lime street anymore

Well that judge he guilty found her for robbin' a homeward–bounder

You dirty robbin' no good Maggie May
