Mel Tillis - I Haven't Seen Mary In Years lyrics
(Damon Black)
While walking one day in the country
I saw a gathering crowd
And as my footsteps drew me closer
I smell a sweet fragrance of flowers.
That looked like a family reunion
And my eyes not counted the tears
And then one man said by the graveside
I haven't seen Mary in years.
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years.
When Mary and I were first married
We had such plans for our child
But for no reason I started rambling
And like the four winds I just ran wild.Mel Tillis - I Haven't Seen Mary In Years - http://motolyrics.com/mel-tillis/i-havent-seen-mary-in-years-lyrics.html
If I could just live my life over
I would bring Mary such cheers
Now she's gone where she'll never need me
I haven't seen Mary in years.
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years.
Then the old man left the graveyard
And I walked along by his side
I called out his name but through all his shame
His son he did not rocognize.
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
How could I know it was mama
I haven't seen mama in years...
