Now gather round you sailor boys
For I was a ruddy fool in
The first time that I came home from sea
I was paid up at the home
From the boards of Sle 'Leone
And four pints ten a month it was my pay
With a pocket full of tin
By a girl with the name of Maggie May
She'll never walk down Lime
For she robbed so many sailors
and captains of the whalers
That dirty robin, oh, good Maggie Mae
when I first met Maggie May
She was cruisin' up and down
She'd a figure so divine,
like a frigate off the line
So me, being a sailor, I gave chase
I was flat and stony broke
When I asked her where they were,
she said, my very dear sir
And she'll never walk down
For she robbed so many sailors
and captains of the whalers
That dirty robbin', oh, good Maggie Mae
To the pawn shop I did go
But no clothes there could I find
The judge he guilty found her
For robbing a home with bounder
And paid her passage back to Botany Bay
They have taken her away,
For she robbed so many sailors,
And captains of the whalers,
That dirty robbin' old Maggie Mae.
they have taken her away,
For she robbed so many sailors,
and captains of the whalers,
That dirty robbin' no good
