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 |
