Ballard of Maggie Rose

Now,Maggie ran a boarding house,or so the story goes; And all those that knew her, called her Maggie Rose; Some say she was a widow, others a woman who; Gave away her favors to, whom ever caught her roving eye; But the truth of the matter, a secret life she led; And if the house,where cattlemen and drummers; Slept in cozy comfy beds, could speak of; Secret passage ways, and doors that kept; This secret of a woman, who loved with all her heart; But none would ever know,it died along with Maggie Rose.
