I Haven't Seen Mary in Years
While walking one day in the country I saw a gathering crowdAnd as my footsteps threw me closer I smell a sweet fragrance of flowersThat looked like a family reunion and my eyes not counted the tearsAnd the no man said by the graveside I haven't seen Mary in yearsHold my hand and leave me leave me away from hereI just brought these flowers for Mary I haven't seen Mary in yearsWhen Mary and I were first married we had such plans for our childBut for no reason I started rambling and like the four winds I just ran wildIf I could just live my life over I would bring Mary such cheersNow she's gone where she'll never need me I haven't seen Mary in yearsHold my hand and leave meThen the old man left the graveyard and I walked along by his sideI called out his name but through all his shame his son he did not rocognizeHold my hand and leave me leave me away from hereHow could I know it was mama I haven't seen mama in years From Letras Mania
