Maggie Mae Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Beatles
Oh dirty Maggie Mae they have taken her away
And she never walk down Lime Street any more
Oh the judge he guilty found her
For robbing a homeward bounder
That dirty no good robbin' Maggie Mae
To the port of Liverpool
They returned me to
Two pounds ten a week, that was my pay

Review about Maggie Mae
maggie may | Reviewer: dr bill | 11/23/2008
The ols folksong MAGGIE MAY or MAGGIE MEA (oe even Maggie Mai) has been around since at least the time, in one form or another, since before the American Civil War (circa 1865). Two of the more well known versions are listed at theballadeers.com.
Relating to the song, the Beatles version, are Rod stewsrt's MAGGIE MAY and Ms. vega's I"LL NEVER BE YOUR MAGGIE MAY
Real Meaning...? | Reviewer: T.C. | 9/10/2008
I believe that this is an alternate version of the traditional Liverpool folk song "Maggie May"; a song about a prostitute who robs a sailor. I looked around for the original lyrics and found an alternate chorus that I think fits it perfectly.
"Oh, Maggie, Maggie May, they have taken you away,
And you'll never walk down Lime Street anymore.
You may search from here to China,
you'll not find a girl that's finer,
That is finer than my darlin' Maggie May."
Just sing the verse with the melody of this song and it's obvious that this is the origin. As for the spelling of "May", I think they did it so they could copyright it for the CD.
Hopefully I'm right, and if not then oops. ^^; Just thought this was some interesting information.
Maggie Mae Review | Reviewer: Melody | 4/23/2008
Anyone who ever heard a Beatles song would know just how good they where as both composers and musicians. Whilst they have written heart felt songs (Hey Jude), psychadellic songs (I am the Walrus), songs with hidden messages (I Me Mine), they never fail to surprise with their fast beat, fun and exciting songs like Maggie Mae.
It's the kind of song that you can listen to once and fall in love with - their accents, their 'Ohhhhh's. All the while it being a great song, they lyrics seem to tell two different stories:
- Maggie Mae, the robber, was put away
- 'He' returns to work and gets his pay
Could this person be the one dirty old Maggie Mae robs? This homeward bounder? Who knows. All that can be concluded from this is that the way the Beatles rolled was sure their own style.
Although the song ends so suddenly, it is well worth the listen, and another great hit by The Beatles.
MA.
