| [00:00.70] |
These are the words of a frontier lad |
| [00:04.58] |
Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad |
| [00:13.24] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [00:20.76] |
but don't tell 'er where I am |
| [00:25.99] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [00:29.70] |
but don't say I'm in a jam |
| [00:33.66] |
You can tell her I had to see the world |
| [00:37.46] |
or tell 'er that my ship set sail |
| [00:40.81] |
You can say she better not wait for me |
| [00:46.00] |
but don't tell her I'm in jail |
| [00:50.17] |
Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail |
| [00:55.20] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [00:57.80] |
but don't tell 'er what I've done |
| [01:02.34] |
Please don't mention the stagecoach |
| [01:05.98] |
and the shot from a careless gun |
| [01:10.04] |
You can tell her I had to change my plans |
| [01:14.66] |
and cancel out the wedding day |
| [01:18.46] |
But please don't mention my lonely cell |
| [01:22.55] |
where I'm gonna pine away |
| [01:26.28] |
Until my dying day |
| [01:31.70] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [01:34.42] |
but don't tell 'er all you know |
| [01:38.49] |
My heart's achin' for Mary, |
| [01:42.59] |
Lord knows I miss her so |
| [01:46.87] |
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, |
| [01:51.30] |
tell her I'm searchin' for gold |
| [01:55.14] |
You can say she better find someone new |
| [01:58.89] |
to cherish and to hold |
| [02:03.36] |
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold |
| [02:07.88] |
Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary |
| [02:15.54] |
Oh, Lord this cell is cold |
| [02:20.65] |
