about

by George Washington Johnson and James Austin Butterfield

For this song I drew from Peter Ostroushko's lovely version on his album Duo with Dean Magraw. He took liberties with both the melody and lyrics, and I've taken further liberties in places.

lyrics

I wandered today to the hill, Maggie
To view the scene below
The creek and the rusty old mill, Maggie
Where we sat so long ago
The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie
Where first the daisies sprung
And the rusty old mill is still, Maggie
Since you and I were young

They say I am feeble with age, Maggie
My steps are less sprightly than then
And my face is a well-written page, Maggie
And time all alone was the pen
And they say we are aged and gray, Maggie
Like spray from the white breakers flung
But to me you're as fair as you were, Maggie
When you and I were young

And now we are aged and gray, Maggie
Our time here on earth nearly done
Let us sing to the days that were, Maggie
Oh, when you and I were young
