These are the words of a frontier lad |
| [00:05.69] |
Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad |
| [00:14.18] |
|
| [00:18.80] |
Take a message to Mary but don't tell 'er where I am |
| [00:25.34] |
|
| [00:26.22] |
Take a message to Mary but don't say I'm in a jam |
| [00:33.20] |
|
| [00:34.21] |
You can tell her I had to see the world or tell 'er that my ship set sail |
| [00:41.14] |
|
| [00:42.31] |
You can say she better not wait for me but don't tell her I'm in jail |
| [00:49.61] |
|
| [00:50.36] |
Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail |
| [00:53.23] |
|
| [00:55.60] |
Take a message to Mary but don't tell 'er what I've done |
| [01:01.53] |
|
| [01:02.66] |
Please don't mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun |
| [01:09.58] |
|
| [01:10.27] |
You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day |
| [01:17.64] |
|
| [01:18.44] |
But please don't mention my lonely cell where I'm gonna pine away |
| [01:25.38] |
|
| [01:26.37] |
Until my dying day |
| [01:29.25] |
|
| [01:31.74] |
Take a message to Mary but don't tell 'er all you know |
| [01:37.60] |
|
| [01:38.85] |
My heart's achin' for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so |
| [01:45.34] |
|
| [01:46.53] |
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her I'm searchin' for gold |
| [01:53.89] |
|
| [01:54.77] |
You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold |
| [02:01.50] |
|
| [02:02.75] |
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold |
| [02:05.99] |
|
| [02:07.18] |
Ma-ary, Ma-a-a-a-ary |
| [02:13.54] |
|
| [02:14.79] |
Oh, Lord this cell is cold |
