Mary |
| Oh, Mary was unhappy with the life that she led |
| She was a simple girl without much to say |
| So, one day, she upped and left her dreary home |
| And she left all her friends to wander all alone |
| And at first, she was afraid—she was so far away |
| From her home—but slowly, she got to like it anyway |
| Oh, Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Well, in time, she found that |
| Mountain that she had been taught |
| Her whole life that she must avoid |
| And though at first, it hurt and no one could comfort her |
| She finally came to appreciate it |
| And she liked it, she liked it—oh, wasn’t she surprised |
| And though still alone, she grew so much inside |
| Oh, Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| And after a time, she became so sublime |
| She could look in people’s eyes and read their minds |
| Though her hands would sometimes bleed, and occasionally |
| She would long for her past and the memories they bring |
| She decided to return to her old hometown |
| And her heart was burning with all the things she found |
| Oh, Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Please come home… |
| So, Mary came back, and at first |
| No one recognized her face |
| And all her friends were all a little bit afraid |
| When they heard what she had to say |
| They all slowly backed away |
| And her family took her aside and put their arms around her |
| They said, «Mary, won’t you please come back to us now |
| There is still time to repent for all your sins.» |
| And Mary started to cry when she realized |
| That she’d never come home again in her life |
| Oh, Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Mary, won’t you please come… |
| Please come home… |
| Come home… |
