I wandered today to the hills, Maggie
To watch the scene below
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie
As we used to long long ago
The green growth is gone from the hills, Maggie
Where first the daisys spring
The creaking old mill is still Maggie
Since you and I were young

A City so silent and lone, Maggie
Where the young and the gay and the best
In polished white mansions of stone, Maggie
And each stone a place of rest
Is built where the birds used to play, Maggie
And join in the songs that were sung
For we sang as gay as they, Maggie
When you and I were young

And now we are aged and gray, Maggie
The trials of life nearly done,
Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie
When you and I were young

some of his other versions.

Oh they say that I'm feeble with age Maggie
My steps are much slower than then
My face is a well written page Maggie
And time all along was the pen

Oh they say we have outlived our time Maggie
As dated as songs that we've sung
But to me, you're as fair as you were Maggie
When you and I were young

Oh they say we are aged and gray, Maggie
As spray by the white breakers flung
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young
