Choosing a version by key and time

The Drowsy Maggie scores shown here all use 4/4, but their opening key signatures are not identical: two begin with two sharps and one with no sharps or flats. Check the key signature before you play with other musicians or read from the score, and do not assume every listing is the same arrangement.

What the listings establish

The scores are grouped as folk and attributed to 'Misc Traditional', with no named composer. That supports treating Drowsy Maggie as traditional material in this context, but it does not verify where the tune comes from or how it has been played historically.

Details not given in the listings

The available information does not state instrumentation, difficulty level, or a verified edition. Note counts and durations belong to individual scores and can be inaccurate, so use them only as rough signals and check the actual score for range, layout, and key.
