For the Sake of Mary Lyrics

For the sake of Mary I kicked the reds

Junked the juice, drink coffee instead

Straightened my teeth, bent my back

Cut my friends dead from the old rat pack

For Mary

She bought me this silk suit, watch and chain

She put the rhythm in my stride again

She showed me the way to make her feel good

If I could do more then I surely would

For Mary

For Mary

For the sake of Mary I do what I can

She still don't trust me to be her man

I say the right thing but my tiiming's bad

She thinks I'm like the rest, but I'm the best she's ever had

For the sake of Mary

I was cook first class on the Belfast B

But when she sailed she sailed without me

In Needle Pete's got my last tattoo

In bleeding letters of red and blue

For Mary

For the sake of Mary I changed my drift

Got a good job on the graveyard shift

She set her heart on a pretty little place

I want to see the tears of joy on her face

For Mary

For the Sake of Mary I keep the flame

I don't want to be the villain again

She's had her bad times and it's shook her about

I don't want to take the easy way out

For the sake of Mary
