Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear
There's a place where we all go to have a few when we feel low Been laid off, we've been laid in, we've been locked out we've been kicked in A bar maid beauty in a tight black dress pours our beer and cleans our mess Answers to the name of Maggie Mae, wait'll we see her what'll we say?
Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Bring us another beer
There's a girl that we all love, she's the one we're thinkin' of Answers to the name of Maggie Mae, wait'll we see her what'll we say?
Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Bring us another beer
There's a girl that we all love, she's the one we're thinkin' of Answers to the name of Maggie Mae, wait'll we see her what'll we say?
Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear Maggie Mae bring us another beer we need another beer Take away our troubles, dear

The lyrics describe the barmaid, Maggie Mae, as a beautiful woman in a tight black dress who pours their beer and cleans up their mess. The patrons of the bar ask her to bring them another beer, and they rely on her to take away their troubles. The song emphasizes how the bar is a place where people go to forget their problems and escape their everyday lives.
The repetition of the line "take away our troubles, dear" highlights how the bar and Maggie Mae are important aspects of these people's lives. They associate their happiness with drinking and being in the presence of Maggie Mae. However, the lyrics also hint at a darker reality, where the patrons of the bar are drowning their sorrows and fueling their hate, suggesting that the bar may not be the healthiest way of coping with their problems.
