Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie she´s the prettiest girl in town
All the boys try to court her but she always turns them down
She swoops like a swallow and she´s dancing in the barn

With her head up in the rafters and her feet pounding on the boards

Oh Maggie she´s a wildflower everybody knows
You can´t pick her you can´t plant her you can´t tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie slips out late at night
Goes waltzing by the river with the stars in her eyes
You´d chance her for a phantom if you saw her on the banks
Oh Maggie mine in a white lace dress where the wild river sings
Oh Maggie she´s a wildflower everybody knows
You can´t pick her you can´t plant her you can´t tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie sitting in the tallest tree
Smoking on a cigarette yeah she has no time for me
She´s further than the forest when I´m standing in the field
And all the prairie ghosts are crying because they know just how I feel

Oh Maggie she´s a wildflower everybody knows
You can´t pick her you can´t plant her you can´t tell her where to grow
Oh Maggie she´s a wildflower everybody knows
You can´t pick her you can´t plant her you can´t tell her where to grow

Oh Maggie Maggie Maggie she´s the prettiest girl in town

All the boys try to court her but she always turns them down
She swoops like a swallow when she´s dancing in the barn
With her head up in the rafters in her feet pounding on the boards
