Maggie Dear, just won't go out alone It 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 a brother Oh I never see Maggie alone She brings her uncles, her cousins, she's got 'em by the dozens Oh I never see Maggie alone And if I phone her, say to her sweet, where shall we meet? Supposing that we eat She brings her father, her mother her sister and a brother Oh I never see Maggie alone I bought a roadster, to seat it, I even had it heated So I could see Maggie alone We were out riding and kissin', the engine started missin' And we were a long ways from home I got right out then, as fast as I could
I found out what was wrong when I opened up the hood There was her father, her mother her sister and a brother Oh I never see Maggie alone One day she said she was wishin', that I would take her fishin' Oh I knew I'd see Maggie alone In a canoe then, we two then, went glidin' o'er the water Far from the noise of her home I threw my line in , I thought I'd catch a trout I got a bite, and I pulled the line right out There was her father, her mother her sister and a brother Oh I never see Maggie alone She brings her uncles, her cousins, she's got 'em by the dozens Oh I never see Maggie I'd love to see Maggie I never see Maggie alone
