[00:00.20]These are the words of a frontier lad
[00:05.28]Who lost his love when he turned bad
[00:14.20]
[00:17.46]Take a message to Mary
[00:21.48]But don't tell her where I am
[00:25.77]Take a message to Mary
[00:29.84]But don't say I'm in a jam
[00:33.32]
[00:33.84]You can tell her I had to see the world
[00:38.26]Or tell her that my ship set sail
[00:41.96]You can say she better not wait for me
[00:46.40]But don't tell her I'm in jail
[00:50.60]Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail
[00:54.22]
[00:55.27]Take a message to Mary
[00:58.17]But don't tell her what I've done
[01:02.33]Please don't mention the stagecoach
[01:06.33]And the shot from a careless gun
[01:10.10]
[01:10.42]You can tell her I had to change my plans
[01:14.58]And cancel out the wedding day
[01:18.43]But please don't mention my lonely cell
[01:22.74]Where I'm gonna pine away
[01:26.54]Until my dying day
[01:30.59]
[01:31.10]Take a message to Mary
[01:34.74]But don't tell her all you know
[01:38.76]My heart's aching for Mary
[01:42.70]Lord knows I miss her so
[01:46.48]
[01:46.94]Just tell her I went to Timbukt
[01:50.82]Tell her I'm searching for gold
[01:54.78]You can say she better find someone new
[01:59.25]To cherish and to hold
[02:02.90]Oh, Lord, this cell is cold
[02:07.18]
[02:07.66]Mary, Mary
[02:15.23]Oh, Lord this cell is cold
