Lyrics

VERSE 1I wandered today to the hill, Maggie,To watch the scene below;The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie,As we used to long ago,The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie,Where first the daisies sprung;The creaking old mill is still, Maggie,Since you and I were young.

CHORUSAnd now we are aged and gray, Maggie,And the trials of life nearly done;Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie,When you and I were young.Let us sing,

VERSE 2A city so silent and lone, Maggie,Where the young and the gay and the best,In polished white mansions of stone, Maggie,Have each found a place of rest,Is built were the birds used to play, Maggie,And join in the songs that were sung:For we sang as gay as they. Maggie,When you and I were young.

CHORUS

VERSE 3They say I am feeble with age, MaggieMy steps are less sprightly than then,My face is a well-written page, Maggie,But time alone was the pen.They say we are aged and gray, Maggie,As sprays by the white breakers flung;But to me you’re as fair as you were, MaggieWhen you and I were young.

CHORUS
