Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you It's late September and I really should be back at school I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home just to save you from being alone You stole my heart and that's what really hurts | | The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more You led me away from home, just to save you from being alone You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without |
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand But you turned into a lover and mother what a lover, you wore me out All you did was wreck my bed and in the morning kick me in the head Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore You led me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried | | (Really long Guitar Improv Bit) |
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face You made a first-class fool out of me But I'm as blind as a fool can be You stole my heart but I love you anyway | | (guitar bit again) |
Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face I'll get on back home one of these days |
