Mary-O oh Mary-O, I’m sorry for this you know.
I never meant to make your daughter cry.
I did my best, I played my part, and in the end she stole my heart
and left me here singing oh Mary-O.
Don’t you hide a single freckle kid no don’t you dare.
So all the stars up in heaven couldn’t resist just one kiss
and thats why they are there
And I don’t think I, will ever get that look off of my mind
The Sun just don’t dance like it did when street lamps
told us to come inside.
Mary-O oh Mary-O, I’m sorry for this you know.
I never meant to make your daughter cry.
I did my best, I played my part, and in the end she stole my heart
and left me here singing oh Mary-O.
Somebody thought that the devil ain’t good at what he does.
Well he was, oh he was, yes he was.
And I never knew she could kill me like she done
well she does, oh she does, yes she does.
Mary-O oh Mary-O, I’m sorry for this you know.
I never meant to make your daughter cry.
I did my best, I played my part, and in the end she stole my heart
and left me here singing oh Mary-O.
