O Maggie, O Maggie, ma sweet friend
- O Maggie, O Maggie, ma sweet friend,
Together we grew up, we ran n' played;
We watched others wither, an' come to their end,
Just all brought us closer, was for that it was made.
- O Maggie, O Maggie, for a while we strayed,
Into sins path and away from God;
We came to our senses and our lives were both laid,
At the feet of Jesus, He became our Lord.
- O Maggie, O Maggie, you were here for a while,
Didn't seem long, but it sure was good;
You were wise n' good, an' that lovely smile,
Together Maggie, we were alive in the Lord.
- O Maggie, O Maggie, then you fell sick,
I never saw anyone, no one that brave;
I prayed to the Lord, I felt sure he'd do the trick,
But the day came, an' laid ya in the grave.
- O Maggie, O Maggie, ya ain't half missed,
That sweet love yours to me was given;
I could sing all day, go through a list,
But now sweet Maggie, ya belong to Heaven.
- O Maggie, O Maggie, now you're way too high,
For us to rap an' run an' play;
Enjoyin' the Lord an' your home in the sky,
But I'm comin' Maggie, comin' to join ya' one sweet day.
This was Writ for Margaret, My lovely Sister.
