Oh Mary Songtext
von The Border Surrender

I′m gonna ride to the Salvation City
I'll make a living in the morning sun
I′ll take a finger ring from my finger
And tell the priest all the things I've done

I've been a pawn in her game far too long now
I′m just a feather to the wind she blows
I′m gonna leave my wife in the valley
Go to the river, wash my clothes

So take a drink from my hand
Let me see if I can stand
Drink from my hand
Let me see if I can stand
And listen when you hear me cry
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary


I used to worship at the feet of Mary
I bought her anything that she could hold
But we just battled from the day we married
'Cause love fades as the mind grows old

So take a drink from my hand
Let me see if I can stand
Drink from my hand
Let me see if I can stand
And listen when you hear me cry
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary

And so I killed her in a fit of passion
And on her grave lies a snow white dove
And though she died in a bloody fashion
I tell the world she died for love


So take a drink from my hand
Let me see if I can stand
Drink from my hand
Let me see if I can stand
And listen when you hear me cry
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary

Oh Mary
Oh Mary
Oh Mary
