lyrics version 1
Well run Maggie run
Run Maggie run
Riding through the meadows
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadows
Chase the rising sun
Well yonder comes old Maggie
Chasing down a dream
Something that she's looking for
But she's never seen
Chasing down a dream yeah
Chasing down a dream
Something that she's looking for
But she's never seen
Maggie's feeling burdened
By the weight of sin
Someone's knocking at the door
She should let him in
Some, she should let him in yeah yeah
She should let him in
Someone's knocking at the door
She should let him in
Run Maggie run
Riding through the meadows
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Chase the rising sun
Running through the meadows
Chase the rising sun
Well yonder comes old Maggie
Chasing down a dream
Something that she's looking for
But she's never seen
Chasing down a dream yeah
Chasing down a dream
Something that she's looking for
But she's never seen
Maggie's feeling burdened
By the weight of sin
Someone's knocking at the door
She should let him in
Some, she should let him in yeah yeah
She should let him in
Someone's knocking at the door
She should let him in
