I Never See Maggie Alone

Maggie dear, just won't go out alone,

Seems that she must have a chaperone,

When we go out no matter where we're bound

There's always somebody around.

She brings her father, her mother, her sister and her brother,

Oh! I never see Maggie alone.

She brings her uncles and cousins, she's got ‘em by the dozens,

I never see Maggie alone.

And if I phone her, say to her "Sweet,

Where shall we meet, supposin' that we eat,"

She brings her father, her mother, her sister and her brother,

Oh! I never see Maggie alone.

She brings her father, her mother, her sister and her brother,

Oh! I never see Maggie alone.

One night when we were out walking and she got tired of talking,

She invited me up to her home.

I turned the lights down, they were too bright,

Oh! What a sight when I turned on the light,

There was her father, her mother, her sister, and her brother

Oh! I never see Maggie alone.

I bought a roadster, two-seated, I even had it heated,

So that I could see Maggie alone,

While we were riding, and kissing, the engine started missing,

And we were a long way from home.

I got right out and then fast as I could,

Found what was wrong, for when I raised the hood,

There was her father, her mother, her sister and her brother,

Oh! I never see Maggie alone.

One day she said she was wishing that I could take her fishing,

So I knew I'd see Maggie alone.

In the canoe there we two, there went gliding o'er the water,

Far from the noise of her home.

I threw the line in, thought I'd catch a trout.

I'd got a bite and pulled the line right out,

There was her father, her mother, her sister and her brother,

Oh! I never see Maggie alone.
