"When You and I were Young Maggie" is a song that has been believed to be written by George Johnson in the mid 19th century, for his Maggie (and Springtown, Tennessee, the place from which he was even has a monument for him). However, the truth is completely different, as this song was written by George Washington Johnson who lived in Ontario and was a school teacher who fell in love with his pupil, Maggie.
