Lyrics for Song: I Haven't Seen Mary In Years
Lyrics for Album: Country (RCA Camden) [1971]
(Damon Black)
While walking one day in the country
I saw a gathering crowd
And as my footsteps threw me closer
I smell the sweet fragnance of flowers.
It looked like a family reunion
And my eyes not counted the tears
And the no man said by the graveside
I haven't seen Mary in years.
Hold my hand and leave me
Leave me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years.
When Mary and I were first married
We had such plans for our child
But for no reason I started rambling
And like four winds I just ran wild.
If I could just live my life over
I would bring Mary such cheer
Now she's gone where she'll never need me
I haven't seen Mary in years.
Hold my hand and leave me
Leave me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years.
Then the old man left the graveyard
And as I walk along by his side
When I called his name through all his shame
Why his son he didn't even rocognize.
Hold my hand and leave me
Leave me away from here
How could I know it was mama
I haven't seen mama in years.
How could I know it was mama
I haven't seen mama in years...
