Verse 1
F#
I once had a true love,
her name was Maggie Brown
Her eyes they were the color
of the sun burning down
And she had hair that smelled like jasmine,
D#m
I loved her from the start
F#
How was I to know she'd
Verse 2
have a cold black heart
F#
Well Maggie was my true love,
F#
I'd meet her at the oak tree in
F#
Where we would walk beside the levee
our fingers intertwined
D#m
While the crimson moon gazed through

the needles of the pines
F#
We'd lay beside each other,
staring at the sky
Listenin' to the whistlin'
Em
of the train blowin' by
F#
As it was on it's way to Macon
The town where I was born
We'd make love in the darkness,

Waterfalls and rainbows, sweet salvation sin
As I lay there sleeping
against her golden skin,

F#
Maggie's only lover I did learn
I went down by the oak tree
lookin' for my lass
And walked east towards the levee
with the sunset in my past
And then I ran through briars and brambles,
until I finally found
My Maggie and her true love
there lyin' on the ground
My eyes they filled with fire,
they didn't see me there
I watched as she made love to him,
caressed him with her hair
I don't remember how it
happened I guess I just saw red
I drew my pistol from my belt and shot them

Verse 5
I once loved a maiden her
name was Maggie Brown
F#
But now I'm riding on a boxcar
back to Macon town
F#
The setting sun will never let me
forget what deed I have done
Until the day they hunt me down,
I'm livin' on the run
