Mary Lyrics

Let me tell you a story about Mary

She used to be a beauty queen

and when things in my life got heavy

She did to me, things you just won't believe

She said "You won't wanna leave"

Break your heart for a pound or a penny

She was the queen of ecstasy

And when the pain in her heart got heavy

She said to me "there ain't nothing underneath"

There's nothing left of me

And now the lines on her face are heavy

And a tear dries on her cheek

She said "the hearts I've broken are many"

"But don't you see? There ain't nothing left for me"

"There's nothing left for me"

And when the time came for burying Mary

All the people lined on the street

And while the women were looking at Mary

All the men were looking down at their feet

Down at their feet
