Lonesome Maggie
(Blair Babcock)

Little Maggie’s dreamin’ of simpler times and of her man
Standing at the station with a suitcase in her hand
Travellin’ o’er to some war torn foreign land
It’s time for her to find her other man

Little Maggie found that far off distant land
Travellin’ o’er the mountains, soot and sand
This time was hers to learn from slight of hand
Another woman with her other man

(Chorus)
Them two blue eyes they don't shine no more
Them two blue eyes they don’t shine
Them two blue eyes they don’t shine no more
When Little Maggie comes walking through the door

She knows her course and she’s headin’ down the line
Empty dram glass in hand and trouble in mind
Her thoughts gonna put her where the sun don’t never shine
Time for life will be the tie that binds

Little Maggie shot, she shot that Billy dead
Fourty-four’s a smokin’, no words were had nor said
And there’s the price for having bit the hand that fed
An woman scorned and a gunshot to the head

Them two blue eyes they don't shine no more
Them two blue eyes they don’t shine
Them two blue eyes they don’t shine no more
And smilin’s come to be an empty chore

Now them pretty flowers are just waiting around to die
Gone are the days when to live was to fly
Them pretty stars they’ve all fallen from the sky
And pretty Maggie’s living in her hard times gone by

No them two blue eyes ain’t shinning anymore
Little Maggie’s other man got caught up in her war
She’s sittin’ on the banks holdin’ tight to that fourty-four
But that old banjo don’t ring no more

(Chorus)
