V1
I'VE JUST SEEN THE DOCTOR/AND HE TOLD ME THAT SHE'LL DIE/
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS MADE OF STEEL/ BUT I BROKE DOWN AND CRIED/
OUR NEW BORN CHILD/ GOT A SMILE/ BUT I JUST GOTTA CRY.
CHORUS
CAUSE MAGGIE'S SLOWLY GOING/ SO FAR AWAY/ WITHOUT ME/
OH MAGGIE/ OH MAGGIE/ OH MAGGIE/ DON'T LEAVE ME NOW.
V2
MAGGIE DOESN'T KNOW/ THAT I KNOW SHES GONNA DIE/
SHE SMILES AT ME AND GOES/ ABOUT HER EVERYDAY LIFE/
BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN/ I CATCH HER LOOKING AT THE SKY/
WONDERING HOW OUR NEW BORN CHILD/
IS GONNA LIVE WITHOUT/
CHORUS
HIS MOMMIE/ MY MAGGIE/ OH MAGGIE/
DON'T YOU CRY/
HIS MOMMIE/ MY MAGGIE/ OH MAGGIE/
DON'T LEAVE ME NOW/ DON'T LEAVE ME NOW.
V3
I TELL MAGGIE STORIES/ ABOUT THE HOUSE THAT WE'LL BUY/
ABOUT THE BIG YARD FOR OUR CHILD/ THE ROOM WE'LL HAVE INSIDE/
BUT LATE AT NIGHT I HEAR HER CRY/ AND I ASK GOD JUST WHY/
CHORUS
MY MAGGIE'S SLOWLY GOING/ SO FAR AWAY/ WITHOUT ME/
OH MAGGIE/ OH MAGGIE/ OH MAGGIE/ DON'T YOU CRY.
