Lyrics Maggie May - El Pony Pisador

Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken you away
You'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For you robbed so many sailors and skinned so many whalers
You clever, no good, robbing Maggie May

Now gather round you sailor boys, and listen to my plea
And when you've heard my tale, oh, pity me
For I was a ready fool in the port of Liverpool
The first time that I come home from sea

I was paid off at the home from the port of Sierra Leone
Four pounds in a month it was me pay
With a pocket full of tin I was very soon took in
By a girl with the name of Maggie May

Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken you away
You'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For you robbed so many sailors and skinned so many whalers
You clever, no good, robbing Maggie May

Oh, well I do remember when I first met Maggie May
She was cruising up and down in Canning Place
She had a figure so divine, like a frigate of the line
And me being just a sailor, I gave chase

In the morning I awoke, I was flat and stoney broke
No jacket, trousers, waistcoat could I find
When I asked her where they were she said "My very good sir,
They're down in Kelly's Pawnshop number nine"

Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken you away
You'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For you robbed so many sailors and skinned so many whalers
You clever, no good, robbing Maggie May

Well, to the pawnshop I did go but no clothes there could I find
The policeman came and took that girl away
And the judge he guilty found her, of robbing a homeward–bounder
And paid her passage back to Botany Bay

She was chained and sent away from Liverpool one day,
The lads all cried as she sailed down the bay,
And every sailor lad, was sad, but sort of glad
They'd sent away mischievous Maggie May

Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken you away
You'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For you robbed so many sailors and skinned so many whalers
You clever, no good, robbing Maggie May

Oh Maggie, Maggie May they have taken you away
You'll never walk down Lime street anymore
For you robbed so many sailors and skinned so many whalers
You clever, no good, robbing Maggie May

YEEEEEE
