Mary Brown |
Well my name is Charlie Thomas and I’m as good a man as you |
And for the love of Mary Brown there’s nothin' that I won’t do |
Well her husband was a banker, yet she told me he was cruel |
So I left his body lyin' in the yard where their roses grew |
Well she and I grew up neighbors where the houses looked the same |
And I swear that I loved Mary Brown before I knew her name |
And after she married and he moved her away |
You know she’d still come back and lay with me like nothin' had ever changed |
I know what’s what’s wrong and right |
What goes around, comes around |
But there ain’t nothin' that I won’t do |
For the love of Mary Brown |
Well people like him always look down on me |
Because I’ve done a little time for armed robbery |
Yeah, but Mary Brown knows I’m from a good family |
And she didn’t say nothing' when she slipped me the back door key |
I know what’s wrong and right |
What goes around comes around |
But there ain’t nothin' that I won’t do |
For the love of Mary Brown |
Well at my trial she testified she kissed me once or twice |
But she swore that was long before she became his wife |
And every time I looked at her she avoided my eyes |
And the jury sentenced me to twenty-five years to life |
Now I haven’t seen Mary Brown since the trial’s end |
And she never answers the letters that I send |
And I heard that she married her husband’s best friend |
Yeah but for the love of Mary Brown, man I’d do it all again |
I know what’s wrong and right |
What goes around, comes around |
But there ain’t nothin' that I won’t do |
For the love of Mary Brown |
