Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashesYou're covered in rainYou're covered in babies, you're covered in slashesYou're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stainsYou cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroudOf another man, who served the world proudYou greet another son, you lose another oneOn some sunny day and always you stay, MaryJesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longerHe flys right by and leaves a kiss upon her faceWhile the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of gloryMary stays behind and starts cleaning up the placeOh Mary she moves behind meShe leaves her fingerprints everywhereEverytime the snow drifts, every way the sand shiftsEven when the night lifts, she's always thereJesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longerHe flys right by and leaves a kiss upon her faceWhile the angels are singin' his praises in a blaze of gloryMary stays behind and starts cleaning up the placeMary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruinsyou're covered in secretsYour'e covered in treetops, you're covered in birdswho can sing a million songs without any wordsYou cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroudof another man, who served the world proudYou greet another son, you lose another oneon some sunny day and always you stayMary, Mary, Mary
