Maisie Lyrics

Maisie, Maisie, Maisie, Maisie
Bad luck, bride of a bull
Strode out to meet, Maisie in the evening light
Maisie, his illuminous grin put her in a spin
Maisie, lay in the hall
With diamonds and emeralds
Maisie, Maisie
Bad luck, the bride of a bull
Strode out to meet, Maisie in the evening light
His luminous grin put her in a spin
Maisie, lay in the hall with her emeralds
And her diamond brooch, beyond reproach
Bad luck, bride of a bull
Strode out to meet Maisie in the evening light
Maisie

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
