Maggies
(lyrics by Denny Burgess)

I wandered today through Ashfield Maggies
When sunlight was fading to dark
'Twas in Arthur Street that I paused Maggies
The gateway to old Pratten Park

The turnstiles were silent and still Maggies
The grandstand and hill quiet and bare
My mind wandered back to the days Maggies
When great `Black and White' men played there

I heard old Erko ring the bell Maggies
And thrilled to each smell, sound and sight
All too soon I came out of my dream Maggies
And drifted off into the night

They say we have outlived out time Maggies
As dated as songs that we've sung
But to me you're as fair as you were Maggies
When you and I were young

Denny Burgess is another great Magpies fan and was a member of the Masters' Apprentices during 1972 along with his bother Colin. Denny is on the right.
