When I was a boy, my mother had a compilation album featuring this song, and we'd flip that record over and over all day long on Saturdays as we cleaned the house. Mom would always go to the player and turn it up quite loud when this song came on and we'd all sing along. I don't relate much to the lyrics, but the beautiful softness of the melody and the smooth vibrato of Allen's voice... make me cry with fond memories of the wonderful home my Irish-heritage mother provided for us.

This video is now some 40 years old. When I watch videos like this, I often wonder about the people portrayed in them. I wonder what became of the young lady featured in the video and how being featured might have affected her life. I have loved this song since I first heard it last year and, at the age of 70, have learned how to play it on violin to play at the 2024 Southern Music Festival coming up next week at the Ashokan Music Camp in Ashokan, NY. There are so many different versions, but I am opting to play the Foster and Allen version because it is haunting and brings back so many memories.

I would imagine everyone has or had a Maggie in their life , such a whimsical little melody I am sure it means something special to those who listen to it over & over again.. I know it means so many special thoughts to me.. Kind thoughts to all who enjoy it as much as I do Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)

The original composer of "Since you and I were young, Maggie" is James Austin Butterfield. He wrote the song in 1865.

Actually the lyrics were written by George Washington Johnson, and the music by Butterfield. Johnson's original poem is published in Maple Leaves which contains the original poem and others. The story behind the song is as beautiful as the song itself. Many others have added verses to the song over the years, but the spirit of the song remains. The book has been out of publication for many years, but a patient search of the internet will produce a copy of the entire book where you can find the original poem on page 164.
