  *++Lyrics:|\\
Behind a grammar school-house\\
In a double tenement,\\
I live with my old mother\\
And always pay the rent;\\
A bed room and a parlor\\
Is all we call our own,\\
And you're welcome ev'ry evening\\
At Maggie Murphy's home.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
On Sunday night, 'tis my delight\\
And pleasure don't you see,\\
Meeting all the girls and all the boys,\\
That work down town with me,\\
There's an organ in the parlor\\
To give the house a tone,\\
And you're welcome ev'ry evening\\
At Maggie Murphy's home.\\
\\
Such dancing in the parlor,\\
There's a walze for you and me;\\
Such mashing in the corner,\\
And kisses too, maybe;\\
We bless the leisure hours\\
To working people known,\\
And they're welcome ev'ry evening\\
At Maggie Murphy's home.\\
\\
It's from the open window\\
At the noontime of the day,\\
You'll see the neighbour's children\\
So happy at their play;\\
There's Jimmy with his Nelly\\
Together romp and roam,\\
And they gather in the schoolyard\\
Near Maggie Murphy's home.\\
\\
I walk through Hogan's Alley\\
At the closing of the day,\\
To greet my dear old mother,\\
You'll hear the neighbours say:\\
"Oh, there goes little Maggie,\\
I wish she were my own;\\
Oh, may blessings ever linger\\
O'er Maggie Murphy's home."\\
\\
