[]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.
