Oh, Miss Mary

(album: College Concert - 1962)

Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's coming home

When Mary was a young girl she took to wandering
Never would she leave me and not come back again
Swear I hear her singing, singing in the western wind
Three days and Mary's coming home

Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's coming home

Mary chased a rainbow over the mountains
Crossed so many rivers, Lord, that I can't count them
She wouldn't want the rainbows even if she found them
Three days and Mary's coming home

Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's coming home

Watching for my Mary, wish she was home again
Home from the rivers, Lord, home from the mountains
If I turn my back, say, she'd just be gone again
Three days and Mary's coming home

Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Oh, Miss Mary, where are you wanderin'?
Three days and Mary's coming home
