O’ Darling Maggie Come

Kilbirnie

O Darling Maggie Come
O'er the vastness of the sea
From your distant golden shore
Where one day we will meet

O youth of youths please come
Forgotten, though you be
A soul awaits your guidance here
Dear Maggie come to me

A girl of teenage summers
Warmth and Love you knew
Then hearts all filled with sadness
As they watched you passing through

Separated by our years
Yet streets the same we roamed
Catching fish and summer walks
O' Maggie please come home

We will walk across the hills
And laugh as kin still do
Come to see us Maggie dear
There's tea here just for you

Your name fell silent, through the years
A grief they could not speak
Still your friends who love you sit
For you, we wait to meet
