I cried over this song when I heard it in my twenties and I am crying still at nearly 70. the words are as deeply felt as when 20. my soul relates to these words of life progressing.
My grandparents used to sing this to me when I was a kid as my name is Maggie, now me grandfather is on his death bed and this makes me remember him. 😢
This is my favourite memory of my late father - he was a big fan of these amazing guys and sadly passed away in 2013 at the age of 65. Listening to this song brings back memories of road trips where at least one Foster & Allen song (and usually Maggie) was played!
FOSTER AND ALLEN HAVE BEEN BRIGHTENING OUR LIVES WITH THEIR BEAUTIFUL MUSIC FOR A LONG TIME NOW, AND I'M.SURE THAT THEY'LL CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR MANY MORE GENERATIONS.
I adore this song. I love the tune and the words, and I especially love it because Maggie was the name of my maternal grandmother, may she rest in peace.
This song reminds me of my Primary School days in Dublin back in 1967. Out teacher at that time ( a Mr Fitzgerald from Sneem in Co Kerry) often sang this song to us in class. I think it' a particularly beautiful song that mixed with sadness, joy and nostalgia. I hope you like the song too.
Wow! Memories of a Sunday afternoon, after dinner, record player on full blast, neighbours wondering what the hell is going on. This will forever be my Daddy's song, love it xx
For the life of me,i can't understand these people that give a thumbs down to things on you tube,IF you don't like it,move on to something you do like!!!
Im a dad to three beautiful grown up dauggters so i understand gurls a little bit and i say sorry you miss your Dad, but you know the inly reasin you miss him is obviously he was a great guy, so in that way you are truely blessed. Good fathers or mothers are something money cant buy😊
My mammie and I did not have a close relationship for many reasons. But when I hear this song I cry. Some sad tears but mostly happy. In my heart I loved you Maggie.
Well now . My wife of 53 years and best mate for three years before that. And secret admirer fir two years before i plucked up enough courage to ask her to go out with me. Her name is Margaret and i sing this to her Then i go to the other Foster and Allen song Gentle Annie. Cos thats her to a T
Hellow! I like too this song. Do you happened to have a song with: Magdi? Same pronunciation, but: instead of dubble (2) gg-es, the second turns downside up! As your many musical theatre songs. Maggie stands for: Margaret While: Magdi stands for Magdalena, and other versions in different ethnicities.
This is not an Irish song it was written in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in the mid 1800s as a poem, and put to music years later by a J. Butterfield in the US
It may have been written in Canada... maybe by a person if Irish, Scots, Welsh or British ancestry. But make no mistake, it has become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people of Scotland, Britain and Ireland. Music is a “heart thing...” and is adopted by the people who resonate with it most. It become “theirs” in a way that transcends country, nationals and geography.
You are absolutely right the song is from the New World not our side of the pond. It has been popular in Scotland for so long that many here think it is Scottish. It was on Ord's 1930 book on Bothy Ballads and has been an integral part of the Selkirk Common Riding for many decades. Likewise the Irish tenor John Maccormack recorded it in the 1920s so it has been around and popular for a long time in both Scotland and Ireland so many people presume it is from our islands..
My mom loved Foster & Allen and this song was one of her favourites
I love you Mum. You left this world in 2023, You will Always be in My heart..All Your children Miss You so much. You are My Hero 💕
This wonderful song is meant for the ages. A tune so beautifully expressing the love of a man for his wife.
I cried over this song when I heard it in my twenties and I am crying still at nearly 70. the words are as deeply felt as when 20. my soul relates to these words of life progressing.
A truly beautiful love song that touches the deepest core of the heart ! It is an evergreen !
For you mum who I lost 3 years ago and grandma who I lost 46 years ago. Love you both so much
Absolutely beautiful piece. Fantastic voice. Wonderful! Wonderful! From California………
My late Dad would always sing this beautiful song to my late mum and I guess he singing it to my mum now in heaven. Miss them both so much in my life.
My grandparents used to sing this to me when I was a kid as my name is Maggie, now me grandfather is on his death bed and this makes me remember him. 😢

No one sings "Maggie" better than Foster and Allen. A beautiful rendition.
My dad bought this record for my mum. Jim amd I all ways loved it.
I think Slim Whitman's version is also fabulous.
A standing classic, but the rendition by Geraldine Branagan is simply out of this world!!
Absolutely
This was my grandads favourite song

My Mothers name was Maggie, god rest her soul

Super!!😅
Hellow!
I like too this song.
Do you happened to have a song with: Magdi?
Same pronunciation, but: instead of dubble (2) gg-es, the second turns downside up! As your many musical theatre songs.
Maggie stands for: Margaret
While:
Magdi stands for Magdalena, and other versions in different ethnicities.

Absolutely Correct,Thank You.Terry Offord

Music is a “heart thing...” and is adopted by the people who resonate with it most. It become “theirs” in a way that transcends country, nationals and geography.
maybe not but it took irishmen to make it a hit
@@Alienco - I always thought it was Scottish. So I have learned something today.
I understand it base on a story about a man loseing wife do to consumption in Ontario
lovely song shame its not the 80s version
Do you suppose I could get them to re-record using "Katie" instead of Maggie?
This is not celtic music. The song was written by a Canadian.
You are absolutely right the song is from the New World not our side of the pond. It has been popular in Scotland for so long that many here think it is Scottish. It was on Ord's 1930 book on Bothy Ballads and has been an integral part of the Selkirk Common Riding for many decades.

a nice version of the song but I think jimmy ferguson version is a lot nicer
I love you Mum. You left this world in 2023, You will Always be in My heart..All Your children Miss You so much. You are My Hero 💕
Love this song
