Maxine

Traveling Wilburys VOL 1 sessions, Dave Stewart Studios, Los Angeles CA - 1-17.may.1988  

It was late in the month of November
She was loadin' up the wagon in the rain
Said she'd be back in the morning
But she never came through here again.

I'd see her in the market
She never had much to spend
These days the market's an old pile of mud
And she never came through here again.

Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine.

Time plays tricks on your memory
It's been a long weekend
She said she'd be back here by Monday
But she never came through here again.

Some say a sorcerer landed
And someone took her in
They found her blue seraph here on the ground
And she never cam through here again.

Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine. 
Maxine, Maxine, Maxine, Maxine.

I bought a tabloid paper
She was rumoured to be in
Was a photo of a woman on a llama
But she never came through here again.

And if you should see her
She may be old by then
Tell her that I miss her and ask her when
She's ever coming through here again.
