I Haven't Seen Mary In Years

[00:06.48] While walkin' one day in the country
[00:10.43] I saw a gatherin' crowd
[00:14.59] And as my footsteps drew me closer
[00:18.35] I could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers
[00:22.26] It looked like a family reunion
[00:26.41] Had my eyes not counted the tears
[00:30.48] And an old man sat by a graveside
[00:34.47] I haven't seen Mary in years
[00:38.79] Hold my hand and lead me
[00:43.01] Lead me away from here
[00:46.80] I just brought these flowers for Mary
[00:50.92] I haven't seen Mary in years
[00:54.55]
[01:01.09] When Mary and I were first married
[01:05.06] We had such plans for a child
[01:09.02] But for no reason I started ramblin'
[01:12.94] Like the four winds, I just ran wild
[01:17.05] If I could live my life over
[01:21.00] I'd bring my Mary such cheer
[01:25.01] Now she's gone where she'll never see me
[01:28.94] And I haven't seen Mary in years
[01:33.80] Hold my hand and lead me
[01:37.54] Lead me away from here
[01:41.52] I just brought these flowers for Mary
[01:45.47] I haven't seen Mary in years
[01:49.11]
[02:08.01] And when the old man left the graveside
[02:12.13] I hopped along by his side
[02:16.02] I called out his name but through all his shame
[02:20.13] His son, he could not recognize
[02:24.51] Hold my hand and lead me
[02:28.84] Lead me away from here
[02:32.08] Oh, how could I know it was mama
[02:36.10] I haven't seen mama in years
[02:41.68]
