(Verse 1)
The land of my home is flitting
Flitting from my view
A gale in the sails is sitting
Toils the merry crew
Here let my home be
On the waters wide
I roam with a proud heart
Maggie's by my side
My own love, Maggie dear
Sitting by my side
Maggie dear, my own love
Sitting by my side

(Verse 2)
The wind howling o’er the billow
From the distant lea
The storm raging 'round my pillow
Brings no care to me
Roll on ye dark waves
O'er the troubled tide
I heed not your anger
Maggie’s by my side
My own love, Maggie dear
Sitting by my side
Maggie dear, my own love
Sitting by my side
(Verse 3)
Storms can appall me never
While her brow is clear
Fair weather lingers ever
Where her smiles appear
When sorrow's breakers
'Round my heart shall hide
Still may I find her
Sitting by my side
My own love, Maggie dear
Sitting by my side
Maggie dear, my own love
Sitting by my side
