Little Mary Lyrics

They said the streets would all be paved with gold

A modern lady's fairyland

She didn't think that it could be so cold

And man, it's not so hard to understand

With nobody around to hold her hand

They said your home is where your heart will stay

She laughed and said, I'm not a child

But now she says a prayer for every day

Before she ran away into the wild

Before she ran away

Oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

She met a man who said he was the one

They lived and loved as man and wife

But when she told him that he'd have a son

He gave a laugh then walked out of her life

She had no money for the baby's feed

No place to go, no place to stay

She saw a handbag and in one bad deed

To get enough to live another day

Oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Little little little Mary Pebble's gone away

And now the baby's oh so far away

Outside the stone, grey concrete walls

The only thing she has to pass the day

Is a memory and a tear that often falls

Is a memory and a tear that often falls
