I knew a girl named Maggie McCall
All her life she was ready to fall
She was a hard lost shadow on the wall
She said she had an ice cold heart
But when it was young it was torn apart
By a mean old son of a bitch

Oh and how it changed her
Lost forever…and now
She’s one foot in the grave

She stole a car up in Tucson
She crossed the borderline
They caught her up in Oklahoma
Now she’s doing time
She’s doing time

The night he drove her to the edge
She found her grip but lost her head
She’d been held down beaten black and blue
He walked with fury and lived with sin
He’s done it before and he’ll do it again
She knew exactly what to do

And like a cloud that has no silver lining
The thunder never ever gives in

She stole a car up in Tucson
Now she crossed the line
They caught her up in Oklahoma
Now she’s paying for her crime
She got the chair up in Tucson
Not a tear was cried
The good will always fall
Here lies Maggie McCall

Everyone thought that she killed that man
They didn’t need to see the blood on her hands
As sure as the red sun will fall
It didn’t take the judge too much time
He read out the verdict and looked her in the eye
And what he saw spread fear across his soul

And now she’s 6 feet under
They say you can hear the wind
Howl her name…

She stole a car up in Tucson
She crossed the borderline
They caught her up in Oklahoma
Now she’s paying for her crime
She got the chair up in Tucson
Not a tear was cried
You know its written on the wall
Here lies Maggie McCall
She’s just a shadow in the wall
Here lies Maggie McCall
Oh the good will always fall
So here lies Maggie McCall
