Mary In The Morning

(album: ...And Other Bits Of Material - 1974)

They didn't give me any warning
I have to take a gun and join the fray
They said that I must do their fighting
But I don't want to go away

I must leave my Mary come tomorrow
Go where my place is by her side
I'll have to leave her here in sorrow
And kiss the tears she tries to hide

I'm leaving Mary in the morning
My life will never be the same
I must leave my love when day is dawning
Mary in the morning is her name

I don't know the men that I'll be fighting
But I'm sure that we are much the same
Each one has a Mary in the morning
That we may never see again

I'm leaving Mary in the morning
My life will never be the same
I must leave my love when day is dawning
Mary in the morning is her name
