I Never See Maggie Alone - Tommy Clayton victrola recorded at 78 RPM

I recorded this at 78 RPM since my other one was slow.
It's real catchy and gets stuck in your head. Only known recording from Tommy Clayton I could find doing this version.

I Never See Maggie Alone - Tommy Clayton, after I bought this album from the 40's (?), I could not find a trace of it on the Net and it's my favorite version. It's real catchy and gets stuck in your head.
Chorus 1

She brings her father, her mother, her sister and her brother.

Oh, I never see Maggie alone.

She brings her uncles and cousins, she's got 'em by the dozens.

I never see Maggie alone.

And if I phone her and say to her "Sweet,

Where shall we meet, supposing that we eat?"

She brings her father, her mother, her sister and her brother

Oh, I never see Maggie alone.


Verse 1

Maggie dear just won't go out alone.

Seems that she must have a chaperone.

When we go out, wherever we are bound,

there is always somebody around.


Chorus 2

She brings her father, her mother, her sister and her brother.

Oh, I never see Maggie alone.

One night while we were out walking and she got tired of talking,

She invited me up to her home.

I turned the lights down, 'cause they were too bright.

Oh what a night, when I turned on the light,

There was her father, her mother, her sister and her brother

Oh, I never see Maggie alone.


Verse 2

Maggie dear is very sweet to me,

When she's near I'm happy as can be,

I long to say, "I want you for my own,"

But I never can see her alone.


Chorus 3

I bought a roadster, two-seated, I even had it heated,

So that I could see Maggie alone.

While we were driving and kissing, the engine started missing,

And we were a long way from home.

I jumped right out then as fast as I could.

Found what was wrong, for when I raised the hood... (Guess who!)

There was her father, her mother, her sister and her brother

Oh, I never see Maggie alone.
