Maggie Walker Blues - Doc Watson
My parents raised me tenderly
They had no child but me

My mind being placed on rambling
With them I couldn't agree

Just leave my aged parents
And them no more to see

There was a wealthy gentleman
Who lived there very near by

He had a beautiful daughter
On her I cast an eye

Was so tall and slender
So pretty and so fair

There never was a girl
In this wide world
With her I could compare

I asked her if it differed
I crossed over the plain

She said
It makes no difference
If you never return again

We too shook hands and parted
And I left my girl behind

I started out in this wide world
Strange faces for to see

I met little maggie walker
Fell in love with me

Her pockets all lined with greenback
And her labor I'll grow old

Now if you'll consent to marry me
I'll say I'll roam no more

I traveled out one morning
To the salt works I were bound

And when I reached the salt works
I viewed the city all around

Work and money were plentiful
Girls all kind to me

But only object to my heart
Was a girl in tennessee

I traveled out one morning
Down on the market square

The mail train being on arrival
I met the carrier there

He handed me a letter
So's I could understand

That the girl I left in tennessee
Had married another man

I drove on a down little further
And found that it was true

I turned my horse and buggy around
But I didn't know what to do

I turned all around and about there
Bad company I'll resign

I'll drive all about from town to town
For the girl I left behind
