A Little Bit Later on Down the Line Songtext
von Bobby Bare

On the day I was born, Mary Jones was ten
But just a little bit later on down the line

I looked in her eyes and I realized that she is

Just a little bit later on down the line

So when I was a man, Mary Jones was my plan
And on the day I was to make her mine
She left me a note and what she wrote was, "I′ll see you"


Just a little bit later on down the line

She said, "Baby, it ain't that I don′t love you"
It's just that road is long and there's a lot you′ve got to see
The day I heard it said Mary Jones was wed
They say he looked her age and she looked fine

My one love is gone, why wasn′t she born
Just a little bit later on down the line
Just a little bit later on down the line
