The Ghost of Maggy May

By: Fee

A ghost on the beach on warm moonless nights

She waits alone till she sees the sunrise

It’s the spot where they made love so long ago

Where he told her such pretty sweet lies

He said “Maggy May I’ll soon be off to sea

On the new moon’s early tide

Oh me darling Maggy make sweet love to me

And on my return be my bride…”

So he hugged her and kissed her sweet lips

As their clothes quickly became part of the sand

The fair maiden with a promise surrendered

Then he left with but a wave of his hand

He was wed to another with wee ones at home

Nay his love for her was not but a lie

Her salt tears fell to join the brine of the sea

As she walked out into the ocean to die

So if you walk on that shore on a warm moonless night

Some say you will see a naked maiden at play

Do not tary, do not linger…go quickly, go quickly away

For she still seeks revenge for the man who once sinned

That’s the ghost lady they call Maggy May
