| [00:06.42] |
Well my name is Charlie Thomas |
| [00:08.24] |
And I'm as good a man as you |
| [00:13.21] |
And for the love of Mary Brown |
| [00:15.01] |
There's nothin' that I won't do |
| [00:18.29] |
Well her husband was a banker, |
| [00:20.20] |
Yet she told me he was cruel |
| [00:23.41] |
So I left his body lyin' in the yard |
| [00:27.03] |
Where their roses grew. |
| [00:34.41] |
Well she and I grew up neighbors |
| [00:36.19] |
Where the houses looked the same |
| [00:39.72] |
And I swear that I loved Mary Brown |
| [00:42.14] |
Before I knew her name |
| [00:46.72] |
And after she married and he moved her away |
| [00:51.77] |
You know she'd still come back and lay with me |
| [00:53.23] |
Like nothin' bad ever changed. |
| [01:00.03] |
I know what's wrong and right |
| [01:04.34] |
What goes around, comes around |
| [01:09.93] |
But there ain't nothin' that I won't do |
| [01:14.47] |
For the love of Mary Brown. |
| [01:27.48] |
Well people like him always look down on me |
| [01:34.29] |
'Cause I've done a little time for armed robbery |
| [01:39.02] |
Yeah, but Mary Brown knows I'm from a good family |
| [01:45.07] |
And she didn't say nothin' |
| [01:47.00] |
When she slipped me the back door key. |
| [01:54.06] |
I know what's wrong and right |
| [01:46.62] |
What goes around comes around |
| [02:03.79] |
But there ain't nothin' that I won't do |
| [02:07.69] |
For the love of Mary Brown. |
| [02:33.33] |
Well at my trial she testified |
| [02:35.03] |
She kissed me once or twice |
| [02:39.71] |
But she swore that was long |
| [02:42.00] |
Before she became his wife |
| [02:46.58] |
And every time I looked at her |
| [02:49.09] |
She avoided my eyes |
| [02:52.42] |
And the jury sentenced me |
| [02:54.18] |
To twenty-five years to life. |
| [03:01.42] |
Now I haven't seen Mary Brown |
| [03:03.05] |
Since the trial's end |
| [03:07.38] |
And she never answers the letters that I send |
| [03:12.14] |
But she knew that I heard that she married |
| [03:15.35] |
Her hushand's best friend |
| [03:19.02] |
Yeah but for the love of Mary Brown, |
| [03:22.42] |
Man I'd do it all again. |
| [03:28.31] |
I know what's wrong and right |
| [03:32.06] |
What goes around, comes around |
| [03:37.63] |
But there ain't nothin' that I won't do |
| [03:42.24] |
For the love of Mary Brown. |
| [03:47.24] |
But there ain't nothin' that I won't do |
| [03:53.66] |
For the love of Mary Brown. |
