Won't you let me tell you bout Mary I promise it won't take me very long

Cause all I have to say about Mary is I'm afraid my Mary's gone wrong



The day I went away and left Mary she promised she would wait eternally for me

But I came back today heard my Mary say yes she don't want any part of me

So now won't you let me tell you bout Mary...

[ strings ]

I came back and went by to see Mary but she couldn't even look me in the eye

Then when I asked her what happened I stood there and watched my Mary cry

So won't you let me tell you bout Mary...

Oh I'm afraid my Mary's goin' wrong
