Flat down on the street with a bottle at my feet

Gutter life and wine was all I craved

Then she came up to me from the Salvation Army

She thought that I was good enough to save

She helped me to my feet and she got me off the street

Some soup and hot tea and a blanket over me

And when we talked she called me by my name

Colonel Maggie is my friend she tried to put some pride back into me
