Miss Mary

Vic Chesnutt · Other Songs - Vic Chesnutt

Miss Mary took a shower and she showed herself to me

She said that God and all his glory was revealed to her carnally

She said she'd been with no man, but she must have been with me

And when I felt her with my finger, the proof burned my belief



So how much can I stand, I'm just a mortal man

I wring my praying hands, she stands there before me

C'est la vie, whatever that means, la di da

And a Doris Day, que sera sera

C'est la vie, whatever that means, la di da

And a Doris Day, que sera sera
