lyrics

Misery and sweet Maggie Lee
Spent all of their days so happily
She'd pick out some daisies and then pick a fight
She'd kick out her man every Saturday night

Now she walks all alone down in old Jackson Square
Smile at the broken hearts everywhere
No man will know love from sweet Maggie Lee
Because a bird needs two wings to be free

Sweet Maggie Lee, she gave me a smile
Told me she loved me but it's been a while
Coming back home was all she could do
To break my heart anyways and probably yours too

Mississippi, you're an old river boat
The roads and the rivers, they keep me afloat
And all of the boys want to give me a ring
But my hearts full of song and I don't need a thing
