Maggie M'Gill

Miss Maggie M'Gill, she lived on a hill
Her daddy got drunk and left her the will
So she went down, down to Tangie Town
People down there really like to get it on

Now if you're sad and you're feeling blue
Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes
And you go down, down to Tangie Town
'Cause people down there really like to get it on
Get it on

Illegitimate son of a Rock n' Roll star
Illegitimate son of a Rock n' Roll star
Mom met dad in the back of a Rock n' Roll car

Well, I'm an old blues man and I think that you understand
I've been singing the blues ever since the world began

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie M'Gill
Roll on, roll on, Maggie M'Gill
[repeat and fade]

On October 20th 1967 at the start of a concert at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Morrison baits the crowd drunkenly, possibly because this was a Frat gig rather than a rock audience.
He is helped off stage and rests for a while while the support play again. returning when slightly soberer he carries on where he left off and taunts the crowd in what was described by one of the audience as his Betty Boop voice. As the concert devolves into chaos with both band and audience trading insults Densmore and Krieger leave the stage.
Manzarek picked up one of Robby's guitars and played a simple blues riff. Morrison joined in with an early version of Maggie M'Gill for five minutes or so.
They left the stage to a chorus of boos.

# The audience member who described Jim's voice would later be inspired to become Iggy Pop a well known promoter of car insurance on TV.

Densmore's thundering American Indian like drumbeat along with a bombastic bass line merges with Robby's snakelike guitarwork and Ray's sleazy organ sound to perfectly compliment Jim's drunken sounding vocal.

With songs like this Morrison got his Mojo back as he and Ray had always had a great love of the blues.
