Arms of Mary

Sutherland Brothers & Quiver - In The Arms Of Mary



The lights shine down the valley

The wind blows up the alley, Oh --

well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary.



She took the pains of boyhood,

and turned them in to feel good, Oh --

how I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary -



Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know --

she put me right on my first mistake --

Summer wasn't gone when I learned all she had to show --

she really gave all a boy could take --- Oh --



So now when I get lonely,

still looking for the one and only,

That's when I wish was lying in the arms of Mary.

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know --

she put me right on my first mistake --

The lights shine down the valley,

The wind blows up the alley Oh --

well I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary.

Lying in the arms of Mary, Lying in the arms of Mary,

Lying in the arms of Mary.
