Crying Mary Lyrics

Crying Mary lyrics

I knew Mary when she was a babyOne little girl and one big little manFive years
younger, she cried like the thunderI watched her reach ten and never saw her
againFrom one boys home to one prison cellMary I've known this world's bitter
hellBut come this winter I'll see my paroleAnd watch the heads turn, down the
aisle we strollAre you still Crying Mary, the girl I knew beforeYour mama used
to come here, she don't come no moreBut she left a picture of you at
seventeenAnd every day since then, Mary you have been my dreamFor years I've
waited, alone in the darkThinking of you through a young boy's heartOver and
over, the price that I've paidWas watching you cry as they drove me awayAre you
still Crying Mary, the girl I knew beforeSo many times I've wondered, behind
these doorsWill we be together, the way it used to beNow that you are older,
Mary do you think of meAre you still Crying Mary, the girl I knew beforeYour
mama used to come here, she don't come no moreJust this worn out picture that
carries everythingBut there's no way of knowing, Mary do you think of meDo you
think of me Mary
