Heinz Hoffmann Mary Jane Blues Lyrics

Mary Jane Blues Lyrics

Her name was Mary Jane  

  She gave me comfort sometime  

  I feel a bit ashamed  

  Cause nowadays it’s just a crime  

  It’s many years ago I took her  

  And all I know I felt so fine  

  

  When people talk about her  

  Their eyes are filled with shades of fear  

  They have to calm down soon  

  It helps to drink a lot of beer  

  And when they’ve finished their procedure  

  I have to watch them from the rear  

  

  When I was on the road  

  And Mary Jane was by my side  

  She said, „Put down your heavy load.“  

  Then she took me out for a ride  

  „No matter what those people say,  

  Sweet little boy got nothing to hide.“  

  

  We tried to settle down  

  In my home county one day  

  When we got into town  

  The sky turned into dirty grey  

  Though we only got little money  

  They took it all and we could not stay  

  

  One mad day she had gone  

  And left me there all alone  

  She went without a word  

  Not even called me on the phone  

  We had had a good time then  

  But now my heart has turned to stone.  

  

  Her name was Mary Jane  

  She gave me comfort sometime  

  I feel a bit ashamed  

  Cause nowadays it’s just a crime  

  It’s many years ago I took her  

  And all I know I felt so fine
