I Miss My Mary |
| A threadbare alibi… a lifetime full of promise |
| Fell from my Mary’s eyes as she saw the screen door swing |
| The baby never woke… he lay cradled in her trembling |
| He lay safe and never knowing what my leavin would bring |
| I draw my pay down on the docks… I send it off to Mary |
| I might hold back a dollar to wash this pain out of my back |
| But the pain keeps getting clearer and Mary your face just keeps on fading |
| Now the light shines through this bottle… memories all fade to black |
| Well I’ll see you out on the street tonight |
| I’m a lover of a drink, a lover of a fight |
| Hold my own on the dark side of this town |
| Yes, I’m tough as nails, got a heart of steel |
| I will never fear, for I will never feel |
| And one more round would surely set me right |
| I miss my Mary tonight |
| They call me the old man in this bar, sleeves rolled up and showin |
| Faint blue souvenirs of love and places I have been |
| One says «US Navy» and this one says «Darling Mary» |
| Now my Mary’s turned to ashes and the ocean’s turned to gin |
| (Repeat Chorus) |
| And one more round would surely set me right |
| I miss my Mary tonight |
