Verse 1
D
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,
Bm
I loved her from the start
D
How was I to know she'd
Verse 2
have a cold black heart
D
Well Maggie was my true love,
B
the only kiss I knew
D
I'd meet her at the oak tree in
Cm
the cool evening dew
D
Where we would walk beside the levee
our fingers intertwined
Bm
While the crimson moon gazed through
D
G
the needles of the pines
D
We'd lay beside each other,
staring at the sky
Listenin' to the whistlin'
Cm
of the train blowin' by
D
As it was on it's way to Macon
The town where I was born
We'd make love in the darkness,

Verse 3
D
Waterfalls and rainbows, sweet salvation sin
As I lay there sleeping
against her golden skin,
Verse 4
D
My friends now gather
around and listen close
The story takes a turn I wasn't fair young

D
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
D
But now I'm riding on a boxcar
back to Macon town
D
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
