I Never See Maggie Alone - Ray Charles, Betty Carter

Maggie dear, just won’t go out alone

Seems that she must have a chaperone

When we go out no matter where we’re bound

There’s always somebody around

She brings her father, her mother

Her sister and her brother

Woah, I never see Maggie alone

She brings her uncle, her cousin

She’s got ‘em by the dozens

You know that’s why I never see Maggie alone

And if I phone her, say to her «Sweet

Where shall we meet, supposing we eat

She brings her father, her mother

Her sister and her brother

Oh!

I can never, never see my Maggie alone

She brings her father, her mother

Her sister and her big big brother

Oh!

I never see Maggie alone

One night when we were out walking

And she got tired of talking

She invited me up to her home

I turned the lights down, they were too bright

Oh!

What a sight when I turned on the light

There was her father, her mother

Her sister and her big, fat brother

Oh!

I never see Maggie alone

I bought a roadster, two-seated

I even had it heated

So that I could see Maggie alone

While we were riding, and kissing

The engine started missing

And we were a long way from home

I got right out and then fast as I could

Found what was wrong, for when I raised the hood

There was her father, her mother

Her sister and her big, fat brother

Oh!

I never see Maggie alone

I never

Oh I never

Ow, I never see my little Maggie alone

Oh, Maggie
