Oh Mary, Don't You Weep |
Oh Mary don’t you weep for me |
Oh Mary just you wait for me |
The battle will soon be over |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
Jimmy sent a letter to his bride back home |
For three long years now he’s been gone |
He left her cryin' on her wedding day |
And went to fight the battle of the Blue and Gray |
Oh Mary don’t you weep for me |
Oh Mary just you wait for me |
The war’s gonna soon be over |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
Mary’s young heart was filled with joy |
When she got the letter from her soldier boy |
His words of love made her heart beat fast |
But little did she know it would be the last |
Oh Mary don’t you weep for me |
Oh Mary just you wait for me |
The battle will soon be over |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
On that same day Atlanta burned down |
Her soldier boy he fell to the ground |
Now Mary sits alone by the candle light |
And reads his letter over every night |
Oh Mary don’t you weep for me |
Oh Mary just you wait for me |
The war’s gonna soon be over |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
Oh Mary don’t you weep for me |
Oh Mary just you wait for me |
The battle’s gonna soon be over |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
Oh Mary don’t you weep |
