Dirty Maggie Maggie Mae

O dirty Maggie Mae They have taken her away She will never walk down lime street anymore O the judge she guilty founder Robbing a homeward bounder In the sailors pockets they found her She robbed them of there hard worked pay That no good robbing Maggie Mae It was my first time docked in Liverpool When she took me for a fool Two pound Ten was my pay With a pocket full with tin When I first met the girl called Maggie Mae O Maggie Maggie Mae they have taken her away She will never walk down lime street anymore Because she's robbed so many sailors And Captains of the whalers That dirty Maggie Mae O I do remember when I first met Maggie Mae She was cruising up and down canning place She had a soul that wasn't divine Well in the morning when I awoke I was flat and Stoney broke No trousers jacket or waist coat could I find I asked her very well and she said there in the pawnbroker in London road she did sell O Maggie Maggie Mae they have taken her away For she's robbed so many sailors And Captains of the whalers O the judge she guilty found her And transported off to Botonny bay She was transported that very day O Maggie Maggie Mae they have taken her away And she will not walk down lime street anymore And when she was gone Do you think she was the only one To take her place came another one So even two hundreds years later to this day There will always another dirty Maggie Mae This is a take on a old shanty song about a real prostitute Who lived in Liverpool about two hundred years ago that robbed her sailor customers and got sent to hard labour in Australia Apparently she made her way back to Liverpool and took up prostitution again I hope you like it because the old Liverpool shanty songs are dyeing out now because the youth don't care about there heritage They don't even know the words of in my Liverpool home
