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 mae

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 cruisin' up and down in canning plase

She had a figure so divine

Her voice was so refined

Well being a sailor I gave a 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 did I 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 mae they have taken her away

And she'll never walk down lime street anymore

Well that judge he guilty found her

For robin' a homeward bounder

You dirty robbin' no good maggie may
