Maggie Walker 
From Wildcats. Marimac 9015. Key of E 
My parents raised me tenderly, they had no trials with me My mind being set on wandering, with them I couldn���t agree They pleaded and they begged me, not to go away But I set out in this wide world, for there I could not stay Break 
I set out that morning, strange places for to see I met little Maggie Walker and, she fell in love with me She was so sweet and tender, so pretty and so fair There never was a sight in this whole world With her I could compare 
I asked if ??????????, if I crossed over the plain She said it made no difference, so long as I returned again She said that she���d prove true to me, till death she proved unkind We kissed, shook hands and parted, and I left that girl behind 
I went out a wandering, till I came to a western town Work and the money were plentiful, to the salt works I was bound The work and the money were plentiful, and the girls all kind to me But the only object of my heart was the girl in Tennessee 
I went out one morning, till I came to the public square The mail train being on arrival, l met the carrier there He gave to me letter, that gave me to understand That the girl I left in Tennessee, had married another man 
I read on down a little further, to see if these words were true I turned all around and about there, I didn���t know what to do I turned all a round and about there, that company I resigned For the only girl I���d ever loved was the girl I���d left behind For the only girl I���d ever loved was the girl I���d left behind
