Artist/Band: Jim Reeves
Lyrics for Song: My Mary
Lyrics for Album: Girls I Have Known/Intimate Jim Reeves [BMG Intern [2004]



(Stuart Hamblen - Jimmie Davis)



(Mary, big brown eyes Mary ruby lips.)



I take a trip every evening

Journey down a memory lane

Strolling again those familiar paths

Dreaming those dreams again.



I can always see my sweetheart

Dressed like she used to be

Waiting for someone by the garden gate

I know that someone is me.



Big brown eyes, ruby lips,

Can't you tell it's Mary

Rosy cheeks, curly hair

Can't you tell it's my Mary.



All times in the evenings we'd go strolling

Hand in hand together beneath the pepper trees

I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight

Dreaming of the hours I've spent with my Mary.



All times in the evenings we'd go strolling

Hand in hand together beneath the pepper trees

I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight

Dreaming of the hours I've spent with my Mary...


About My Mary

Jim Reeves' "My Mary" stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, crooning style that defined the late 1950s country-pop sound. Recorded during the height of his career, the track showcases his signature warm baritone and intricate vocal ornamentation, blending tender romance with the polished production typical of RCA Nashville releases. The song reflects the era's emphasis on intimate storytelling, capturing the quiet longing often found in Reeves' discography. As a staple of his catalog, "My Mary" exemplifies the delicate balance between traditional country instrumentation and pop sensibilities that made him a beloved figure in American music history. Its enduring appeal lies in the seamless fusion of Reeves' emotive delivery and the sophisticated arrangements that characterized his most celebrated recordings.
