I'll Never See Maggie Alone

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 her brother
Oh, I never see Maggie alone
She brings her uncles, her cousins, she's got 'em by the dozens
I never see Maggie alone

And if I phone her, say to her sweet
Where shall we meet supposin' that we eat
She brings her father, her mother, her sister, and her brother
Oh, I never see Maggie alone

I bought a roadster two-seated, I even had it heated
So that I could see Maggie alone
While we were riding and kissing, the engine started missing
We were a long way from home

I got right out and then fast as I could
I found what was wrong, for when I raised the hood
There was her father, her mother, her sister, and her brother
Oh, I never see Maggie alone

One day she said, she was wishing that I would take her fishing
I knew I'd see Maggie alone
In a canoe then we two, then went gliding o'er the water
Far from the noise of her home

I threw my line in, thought I'd catch a trout
I got a bite and pulled the line right out
There was her father, her mother, her sister, and her brother
Oh, I never see Maggie alone

One night while we were out walking, and she grew tired of talking
She invited me up to her home
I turned the lights down, they were too bright
Oh, what a night, but when I turned on the light
There was her father, her mother, her sister, and her brother
Oh, I never see Maggie alone
Oh, I never see my Maggie alone
