The violets are scenting the woods, Maggie
Displaying their charms to the bees
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The chestnut bloom gleams thru the glade, Maggie
A robin sang loud from a tree
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
Of happier transports to be
The golden row daffodils shine, Maggie
And danced in the breeze on the lee
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
The birds in the trees sang a song, Maggie
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
Our hopes they have never come true, Maggie
Our dreams, they were never to be
Since I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
