Lyrics:

The violets were scenting the woods, Maggie
Displaying their charms to the breeze
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

The chestnut blooms gleamed through the glades, Maggie
A robin sang aloud from the tree
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

A golden row of daffodils shone, Maggie
And danced with the leaves on the breeze
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
Of happy a trance for us to be
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me

Our dreams, they have never come true, Maggie
Our hopes, they never were to be
When I first said I loved only you, Maggie
And you said you loved only me
