Mary's dad runs the general store dad's a foreman at the mine

But since dad's been laid off work Mary's no longer mine

Used to get the family car and take Mary for a ride

But now that gas is so doggone high Mary's no longer mine

Nowadays Mary's ways are as changing as the times

But tell me when the mine starts work again will Mary again be mine

Things are fair at the general store things are bad at the mine

But things are worse within my heart Mary's no longer mine Mary's no longer mine
