Margo The Ninth Of May

It was eighteen hundred and ninety two

The horses were young

And the buggy was new

Jim and Margo were happy and gay

And the date was the 9 of May

A horseless carriage abruptly appeared

The stallion jumped

And whinnied and reared

Margo hit the dirt in a sickening way

And Jim was alone on his wedding day

Margo Margo

Margo Margo

Margo's gone away

Gone away

But they say that old Jim

Meets her Meets her

Every 9 of May

Margo's been gone for many a year

But her name still brings a trace of a tear

To old Jim's eyes as dim as they are

And he still hates the sight of a car

Once a year old Jim goes back to the scene

And he waits near

The church for his long lost queen

They make all the wedding vows over they say

When Margo appears

On the 9 of May

Margo Margo

Margo Margo

Margo's gone away

Gone away

But they say that old Jim

Meets her Meets her

Every 9 of May

Every 9 of May
