Redbone - Maggie Lyrics






Maggie was a buck and gain
Following the hookin' game
Boo-lah rooka hook and chain
Maggie's eyes could cook a man

But oh, she loved to tantalize
Make it feel like paradise
Oh, nobody cry when Maggie die
When Maggie die - um um um

Boom boom like a shi shi hand
Take her to the rock and hang
Rum and boogie love to dance
Maggie didn't stand no chance

But oh, she love to tantalize
And make it feel like paradise
And oh, nobody cry when Maggie die
When Maggie die - oh oh oh

Boom boom boom - boom poor Maggie
Boom boom boom - poor Maggie
Boom boom boom - boom poor Maggie
Boom boom boom - poor Maggie

Maggie was a buck and gain
Following the hookin' game
Boo-lah rooka hook and chain
Maggie's eyes could cook a man

But oh, she loved to tantalize
And make it feel like paradise
And oh, nobody cry when Maggie die
When Maggie die - mmmm

Boom boom like a shi shi hand
Take her to the rock and hang
Rum and boogie love to dance
Maggie didn't stand no chance

But oh, she love to tantalize
And make it feel like paradise
And oh, nobody cry when Maggie die
When Maggie die - oh oh oh now

Boom boom boom - boom poor Maggie
Boom boom boom - poor Maggie
Boom boom boom - boom poor Maggie
Boom boom boom - poor Maggie

  1. t.... ....

    First time I ever heard guitar through a Leslie. When I first heard this song I had no idea how they got that sound---a couple years later I got a Leslie---then I knew! Ha-ha. These guys were so damn funky. Underrated band that ought to be more remembered.

  2. T.... ....

    Respect from a Led Zeppelin fan, this is so in their wave, wish they were more recognised.

  3. E.... A....

    Loved this band " Redbone " .

  4. R.... R....

    Had the first couple albums from this cool band

  8. E.... F....

    Superb. Bought the album too years ago. Witch Queen as well. They were a great band.

  9. R.... R....

    I had this song on a comp lp called Different Strokes on Columbia

  10. D.... R....

    I remember hearing this as a teen in the '70's and wondering why I hadn't heard it before and why it wasn't a hit. I'll use a term I've used in other postings---definitive funk. Looove that bass line. G.bless Redbone!

    D.... R....

    It WAS a hit. Maybe not a Number 1 but was a pretty big hit. I remember hearing it a LOT on radio back in those days.

  11. B.... V....

    Native Americans invented Funk

  12. e.... ....

    This was a BIG club hit in the Black Community ... if its funky we took it in

    e.... ....

    Indeed & agreed !

  13. R.... B....

    Crazy talented Native American group which should be in the Hall of Fame.
