Merle Haggard My Mary Lyrics

My Mary Lyrics

I take a trip every evening

Scrolling down memory lane

I'm walkin' again those familiar paths

Dreaming those dreams again



And I can always see my sweetheart

Just as she used to be

Waiting for someone at the garden gate

And I know that someone is me



Big brown eyes and pearly hair

And you'd tell that's Mary

Rosy cheeks and ruby lips

Can't you tell that's Mary



Of times in the evenings we'd go scrolling

Hand in hand together beneath the pepper tree

And I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight

Dreaming of the times I spent with Mary



Ofttimes in the evenings

Oh, gee wouldn't it be wonderful to open up the doors of the past

And live again as yesterday

But you know no matter where I wander no matter where I roam



There'll always be a place in my heart boys

For a girl away back for a girl that I used to call Mary
