since maggie went away - ronnie drew lyrics

no more i stroll, no more i stroll
along the boreen
i see the scarlet poppies flame
amid the corn green
no more beneath the hedge i’ll watch
the b*tterflies at play
for my heart is filled with woe, with woe
since maggie went away

the sweet wild rose, the sweet wild rose
that loved to see us there
and seemed to bid us hope, now droops
and tells me to despair
the linnet sings his song unheard
perched on a leafy spray
oh, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
since maggie went away

the gentle flowers, the gentle flowers
their happy charm is fled
and now they seem like blossoms strewn
above the silent dead
they’re symbols now of sorrow deep
and life’s swift, sure decay
oh, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
since maggie went away
the heartless sun, the heatless sun
with splendour gilds the skies
and mocks with smiling beams a heart
that now can only sigh
shine on, bright sun, shine on, while i
could curse thy proud display
for, my heart is filled with woe, with woe
since maggie went away

then welcome grief, then welcome grief
man’s warm true*hearted friend
for tho’ all things be false, thou still art
faithful to the end
and now i walk alone with thee
till life turns into clay
for my heart is filled with woe, with woe
since maggie went away
