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
