The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

[Chorus:]
Oh, well, yonder stands little Maggie with a dram glass in her hand. 
She drinkin' away her troubles, oh, Lord,
And foolin' another man.

How could I ever stand it, just to see them two blue eyes. 
They shine just like the diamonds, like the diamonds in the sky.
Pretty flowers were made for bloomin'. 
Pretty stars were made to shine. 
Pretty girls were made for boys to love.
Surely Maggie was made for mine.

[Chorus]

Well, they marched me down to the station with my suitcase in my hand. 
I'm going away for to leave you, my love.
Goin' to a far distant land.
Oh, well, sometimes I have a nickel (oh, Lord) 
And sometimes I have a dime 
And sometimes I have ten dollars (oh, Lord)
Just to pay little Maggie's fine.

[Chorus]
