Robert Plant - Lullaby And... The Ceaseless Roar Album Lyrics

Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

Oh yonder stands little Maggie
With a dram glass in her hands
She's drinking away her troubles
She's a courting some other man

Oh how can I ever stand it
Just to see them two blue eyes
A shining in the moonlight
Like two diamonds in the sky

Last time a saw little Maggie
She was sitting on the banks of the sea
With a forty-four around her
And a banjo on her knee

Lay down your last gold dollar
Lay down your gold watch and chain
Little Maggie's gonna dance for daddy
Listen to that old banjo ring

Pretty flowers were made for blooming
Pretty stars were made to shine
Pretty women were made for loving
Little Maggie was made for mine

Oh yonder stands little Maggie

Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard, poor boy
Left me here to jump for joy

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Poor Howard's been and gone
Poor Howard's been and gone
Poor Howard's been and gone
And left me here to sing this song, oh

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on, I know
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Where you been since I been gone?
Where you been since I been gone?
Where you been since I been gone?
With the great big man with a derby on?

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on, oh
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh

All I want in this Creation
Pretty little girl and a big plantation
Four little kids to call me papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

All I want in this Creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Four little kids to crawl on me
Four little kids to love me

All I want in this Creation
A pretty little wife with a big plantation
Four little kids to call me papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

Wa-wa
Oh, wa-wa
Oh, wa-wa
Oh, wa-wa

Oh, wa-wa
Wa-wa
Wa-wa
Wa-wa

All I want in this Creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Four little kids to call me papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

Speak to me - tell me a dream
Why don't you let me know
It's only a key - I'm locking it up
I think its got to go

And when I think about it now
We'll build a house of love somehow

Ah, talk to me, back in your grove
You leave me walking the floor
Ah, feels strange to me - I'm losing control
I cant feel you any more
And when I think about it now
Build a house of love somehow
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
Oh, my crazy arms are empty now
So call it dying slow
Oh you're looking at me - I can't forget
You touch my very soul
But when I think about it now
Build a house of love somehow
A little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
Oh girl, you really do now
Ah, you hurt me child
You know you really do now
You know things get better, baby
Oh, I was running - just running so hard
But things get much better baby
It's so hard - it's so hard, so hard
Keep a-running, keep a-running, yes
Yes, it gets better, baby
My crazy arms - they're empty now,
So call that dying slow
Oh, remember me - I can't forget
You touch my very soul
And when I think about it now
Build a house of love somehow
Just a little too much
Yeah, too much
It's just a little too much
It's just a little too much

[Instrumental]

Here

Badim, badim, badim

I'm going down to the station
With my suitcase all in my hand
I'm going away, away to leave you
In some far off distant land

Oh

Badim, badim, badim
