lyrics

Maggie’s Dream

Maggie dreamt she’d left the farm and took a holiday
Pa had hit the bottle hard, was time to get away
The workers wouldn’t stay too long, cos Ma kept wanting more
She never knew when she was wrong, kept laying down the law

Brother John was goin’ down and hadn’t talked since June
Not since he’d seen sweet Mary drown lake swimming at full moon
And Maggie she was lonesome, felt wretched as a flea
And moonshine gin and hoedown sin were not a cure for she

Maggie dreamt she flew far, far away
Over the hills to where the music plays
Maggie dreamt she’d found a better way
A place where she could make it through each day, oh

La la la la etc.

She woke up in a cold sweat, her night clothes wet and thin
She hollered out to someone but nobody came in
She heard the clock a-ticking, the night’s watch drawing in
Outside the moon was burning bright, the white light on her skin

Maggie dreamt she flew far, far away
Over the hills to where the music plays
Maggie dreamt she’d found a better way
A place where she could make it through each day, oh

La la la la etc.
