letra de maggie, maggie may - judy garland
now gather round you sailor boys, and listen to my plea
and when you’ve heard my tale you’ll pity me
for i was a real d-mned fool in the port of liverpool
the first time that i came home from the sea
i was paid off at the home, from a voyage to sierra leone
two pounds ten and sixpence was my pay
when i drew the tin i grinned, but i very soon got skinned
by a girl by the name of maggie may
oh, maggie, maggie may, they’ve taken you away
they’ve sent you to van diemen’s cruel sh0r-
for you robbed so many a sailor, and skinned so many a whaler
and you’ll never shine in paradise street no more
i shan’t forget the day when i first met maggie may
she was cruising up and down on canning place
with a figure so divine, like a frigate of the line
so, being a sailor, i gave chase
oh, maggie, maggie may, they’ve taken you away
they’ve sent you to van diemen’s cruel sh0r-
for you robbed so many a sailor, and skinned so many a whaler
and you’ll never shine in paradise street no more
next day i woke in bed, with a sore and aching head
no shoes, or shirt, or trousers could i find
i asked her where they were, and she answered, “my dear sir
they’re down in kelly’s knock-shop, number nine”
oh, maggie, maggie may, they’ve taken you away
they’ve sent you to van diemen’s cruel sh0r-
for you robbed so many a sailor, and skinned so many a whaler
and you’ll never shine in paradise street no more
oh, you thieving maggie may, you robbed me of my pay
when i slept with you last night ash0r-
and the judge he guilty found her of robbing a homeward-bounder
and she’ll never roam down paradise street no more
oh, maggie, maggie may, they’ve taken you away
they’ve sent you to van diemen’s cruel sh0r-
for you robbed so many a sailor, and skinned so many a whaler
and you’ll never shine in paradise street no more
