Mary’s Gone

Mary would sit
In the pale moonlight
Mary was once my own heart's delight
She was silent
Just lying there
The cold wind
Blowing her hair

Mary always
Treated me like gold
But her love it
Soon grew cold
I treated her bad
I treated her mean
Now Mary is just a memory

I'm never gonna marry
Never have me a wife
Gonna be a bachelor for the rest of my life
Rougher on my body than the ocean blue
There ain't no telling what I might do
So long sweet Mary
I bid you farewell
You say I'm not worth it but no one can tell
I'm gonna ramble
I'm gonna roam
'Til the bells of glory
Call me home

Mary would sit
In the pale moonlight
Mary once was my own heart's delight
She was silent
Just lying there
The cold wind
Blowing her hair
