David Allan Coe - Crazy Mary Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Michael Peter Smith - Bird Avenue Publishing - ASCAP
  • In the lamplight burning low AND
  • Dimly through enchanted woods
  • She rocks beside the fire that never was lit
  • And as we ran on by
  • Pretending to be frightened
  • We WOULD shout and laugh at Crazy Mary
  • CHORUS:
  • Crazy Mary from LONDONDERRY
  • Lives next door to the cemetery
  • How many lovers have you buried
  • We would shout, running scared
  • ACROSS the green and golden paths
  • That LED us home, away from Crazy Mary
  • She would never answer us
  • JUST SMILE through the window softly
  • Wild-eyed and wild-haired but we were sure
  • That in the dark of night
  • She cursed us soundly, casting spells
  • And such to turn us into donkeys
  • So THEY WENT THE SUMMNER YEARS
  • EACH ONE MORE FLEETING THAN THE LAST ONE
  • RUSHING DOWN THE GREEN AND GOLDEN PATHS
  • AND SOON THE WOODS WERE NOT ENCHANTED ANYMORE
  • FOR WE WE HAD GROWN AND WE'D FORGOTTEN CRAZY MARY
  • SO IT COMES that older now
  • We stand upon this windswept moor
  • The lonely STONE before us
  • Testifies that Crazy Mary ROCKS AND SMILES and dreams
  • HeR dreams somewhere
  • But not where little kids can follow after
  • And on the stone, these words, dear friend
  • Please write me down as one who loved
  • The raven-haired and laughing lads
  • That swore that they would marry me
  • BUT soon their sons came running by
  • And here I lie, forgotten, Crazy Mary.
  • IN THE LAMPLIGHT BURNING LOW AND DIMLY
  • THRU ENCHANTED WOODS WE THINK
  • ABOUT THE SINS THAT WE COMMIT ALONG
  • THE GREEN AND GODEN PATHS OF GOWING UP
  • WE LIGHT THE FIRE AND SAY A PRAYER FOR CRAZY MARY
