Lonnie Johnson - She's My Mary (1938) lyrics

rate me

Her friends all scorn her, the talks all over town.

They tryin’ to make trouble for us, the news is out all around.

But after all she’s still my Mary, and will be until the deal goes down.

She was my Mary, when this whole world turned me down.

She was my father, mother, sister, and brother, she helped me to carry on.

And she will still be my Mary, when everything goes wrong.

She’s so sweet to me, when everything goes wrong.

She’s so consolation, she helps me to carry on.

That’s why I know she’ll still be my Mary, when this rotten deal goes down.

I know I can find a woman, each day that bright sun shines.

I know I can find a woman, each and every day that bright sun shines.

But after all she’s still my Mary and there’s nothin’ else can ever change my mind.

People says that I’m such a fool, ‘cause I don’t get out and chase around.

People say that I’m such a fool, ‘cause I don’t get out and chase around.

I can find a consolation I can meet, and she’ll still be my Mary when the deal goes down.
