Oh where is little Maggie Over yonder she stands Rifle on her shoulder Six-shooter in her hand. How can I ever stand it Just to see them two blue eyes Shinin' like some diamonds Like some diamonds in the sky. Rather be in some lonely hollow Where the sun don't ever shine Than to see you be another man's darling And to know that you'll never be mine. Well it's march me away to the station With my suitcase in my hand Yes march me away to the station I'm off to some far-distant land. Sometimes I have a nickel And sometimes I have a dime Sometimes I have ten dollars Just to pay for little Maggie's wine. Pretty flowers are made for blooming Pretty stars are made to shine Pretty girls are made for boy's love Little Maggie was made for mine. Well yonder stands little Maggie With a dram glass in her hand She's a drinkin' down her troubles Over courtin' some other man.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme désespérément amoureux de Little Maggie, une femme qui semble être attirée par un autre homme. Il exprime sa peine en imaginant une vie solitaire, loin d’elle, plutôt que de la voir partager son amour avec quelqu'un d'autre. Il évoque les souvenirs de leur relation tout en soulignant la beauté de Little Maggie, qui se retrouve à noyer son chagrin dans l'alcool au lieu de s'intéresser à lui. Dans un registre tragique, le protagoniste est confronté à sa réalité amère, où il se sent impuissant face à l’amour non réciproque. Les images des rêves et des espoirs s’effacent, laissant place à un désir intense de posséder l’affection de celle qui lui échappe. Le tout porte un sentiment d'inéluctabilité et de tristesse, dont on ressent le poids à chaque phrase.
