the ballad of maggie mcgris lyrics
when i’ve had his many drinks my boys
my mind always turns to the lost memories
of my home town and the first girl i kissed
a bonnie wee lass name of maggie mcgris

she liked to take off her clothes
you just can’t stay mad at a woman like that
when she wore them, she wore charming clothes
but with assets like those
she enjoyed modeling and strutting her stuff, that’s a fact many can attest
but those would agree when the clothes were let free, that’s when her stuff lookеd its best

but she’s saving hersеlf for me, i’d say
shes saving herself for me
for whan i return from my trip off at sea
she’s saving that special gift, i’d say
for her true love that sat with her under the aspen. talkin and dreamin and courtin and laughin

now a lass looks like that just cheers everyone up
the men of the town would all ogle like pups
she was determined, to rise bove the vermin
she needed to raise some cash that was clar
and of certain aspects she’d plenty to share
she’d pose for the artists on vickerman street
she’d pose for the cameraman from up north a beet
she posed for the tourists when they’d come to town
all dolled op and show’n the things off they bought
waving her arms like she’s putting out a house fire
i seen um wave arms but i ain’t seen it finer
she made out with lit students from oer the valley
she made out with barhops, for whip its and valium
she made out with lawyers whose pockets dripped money
she made out with sailors whose clothing smelled funny

but she’s saving herself for me, i’d say
she’s saving herself for me
for whan i return from my trip off at sea
she’s saving that special gift, i’d say
for her true love that holds a lock of her hair

she began stripping naked in seedy cafes
where the patrons all wore moustaches and berets
she shacked up with a pimp in from pacedena
she’s taken up dealing a substance the kids call tina
i never minded the things that she did
for our plan since we were kids
was to save that money up for a farmhouse home
and raise little model, stripper, drug dealers of our own

she sold drugs to gangsters who wore fancy shoes
she sold drugs to musicians who drank bootleg booze
she sold drugs to surfers in from the west coast
she sold drugs to right wing radio show hosts
sometimes i’d wonder if shed ever falter
if her determination ever wandered
but i’d quickly banish such thoughts from my mind
with a glance at her lock of hair so fine
but she’s saving herself for me. she said
she’s saving herself for me
for whan i return from my trip off at sea
she’s saving that special gift, she said
for her true love that remembers the way she smiled when she was but a little gurl

i donna know what has happened to her since
of the money she earned
i’ve never received a pence
but i’ve still got a drawing i made once of her
and i’ve still got this lock of her hair
