Mary-Ann Regrets:Burl Ives:
A chart topper in '62.
1. I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers,
For Saturday's date and I restlessly counted the hours.
Then today in the mail I received this short little note,
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother
wrote.
CHORUS:
'Mary-Ann regrets she's unable to see you again,
We're leaving for Europe next week, she'll be busy 'till
then.'
They know that she loves me, but poor boys don't fit in
their plan.
Good-bye, good luck, good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann.
2.The weeks have gone by - not a word have I heard
since then.
In the papers I read of the far away places she's been.
I can't eat, I can't sleep, for over and over again,
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary-Ann.
CHORUS:
3.My Mary-Ann died - they say she just wasted away.
If I could have seen her I know she'd be living today.
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone,
Today she'd be wearing my ring, not a blanket of stone.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
