Run Maggie run
Run Maggie run
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadow
And chase the rising sun
Looking for my Maggie all through this land
She looked across her shoulder crying
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Looking ‘cross her shoulder crying
Catch me if you can
Run Maggie run
Run Maggie run
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadow
And chase the rising sun
Come children come
Come children come
Back country seven gonna show you some fun
Show you some fun
Show you some fun
Back country seven gonna show you some fun
Run Maggie run
Run Maggie run
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Run Maggie run
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadow
And chase the rising sun
Looking for my Maggie all through this land
She looked across her shoulder crying
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
Looking ‘cross her shoulder crying
Catch me if you can
Run Maggie run
Run Maggie run
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadow
And chase the rising sun
Come children come
Come children come
Back country seven gonna show you some fun
Show you some fun
Show you some fun
Back country seven gonna show you some fun
Run Maggie run
Run Maggie run
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadow
Chase the rising sun
