[]Take [A] Message To Mary:The
Everly Brothers.
INTRO:(Spoken)
[]
These are the words of a frontier lad,
[] [] []
who lost his love when he turned bad.
#1.
[]
Take a message to Mary,
[] []
but don't tell her where I am.
[]
Take a message to Mary,
[] []
but don't say I'm in a jam.
[] []
You can tell her I had to see the world,
[] [] [] []
or tell her that my ship set sail.
[] [] [] [] []
You can say she better not wait for me,
[] [] [] [] []
but don't tell her I'm in jail. No, don't tell her I'm
[]
in jail.
#2.
[]
Take a message to Mary,
[] []
but don't tell her what I've done.
[]
Please don't mention the stagecoach,
[] []
and the shot from a careless gun.
[] []
You can tell her I had to change my plans,
[] [] [] []
and cancel out the wedding day.
[] [] [] []
But please don't mention my lonely cell,
[] [] [] [] [] []
where I'm gonna pine away, un-til my dying day.
#3.
[] []
Take a message to Mary, but don't tell her all
[]
you know.
[] [] []
My hearts aching for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so.
[] []
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu,
[] [] [] []
Tell her I'm searchin' for gold.
[] [] [] []
You can say she'd better find someone new,
[] [] [] [] [] []
to cherish and to hold. Oh, Lord, this cell is cold.
[] [] [] [] []
OUTRO:Maaaa..ry, Maaa..ry. Oh, Lord this cell..is..cold.
