WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG, MAGGIE

I WANDERED TODAY TO THE HILL, MAGGIE
TO WATCH THE SCENE BELOW
THE CREEK AND THE OL’ RUSTY MILL, MAGGIE
WHERE WE SAT IN LONG, LONG AGO

THE GREEN GROVE IS GONE FROM THE HILL, MAGGIE
WHERE FIRST THE DAISIES SPRUNG
THE OL’ RUSTY MILL IS STILL, MAGGIE
SINCE YOU AND I WERE YOUNG

AND NOW WE ARE AGED AND GREY, MAGGIE
THE TRIALS OF LIFE NEARLY DONE
LET US SING OF THE DAYS THAT ARE GONE, MAGGIE
WHEN YOU AND I WERE YOUNG
