Tantalising Maggie

(album: The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack - 1967)

Tantalising Maggie keeps a funny farm upstate
Keeps her love awaiting when the hands are laying plate
Drives an open sports car 'cause her boyfriend drives a plough
So her father keeps on asking "What's that row?"

Tantalising Maggie has a way with all the boys
Sneaks upstairs a-barefoot so her father miss the noise
Eats her breakfast in a pan, saves to wash the dish
Slides into the river and she hopes to catch a fish

Maggie Maggie, keep yourself up straight
'Cause if you don't it will be too darn late
Maggie Maggie, keep yourself up straight
'Cause if you don't it will be too darn late

Maggie
Tantalising Maggie

Tantalising Maggie keeps her perfume in the barn
She shoots upstairs on Sunday when she visits funny farm
She drives her car on platforms 'cause she hates the city streets
Walks the last mile backwards, waves to all she meets

Maggie Maggie, keep yourself up straight
'Cause if you don't it will be too darn late
Maggie Maggie, keep yourself up straight
'Cause if you don't it will be too darn late
Maggie Maggie, keep yourself up straight
'Cause if you don't it will be too darn late
Maggie Maggie, keep yourself up straight
'Cause if you don't it will be too darn late
