Take a Message to Mary

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
These are the words of a frontier manWho lost his love when he turned bad.Take a message to MaryBut don't tell here where I amTake a message to MaryBut don't say I'm in a jamYou can tell her that I had to see the worldTell her that my ship set sailYou can say she'd better not wait for meBut don't tell her I'm in jail, oh don't tell her I'm in jail.Take a message to MaryBut don't tell her what I've donePlease, don't mention the stage coachAnd the shot from a carried gunYou better tell her that I had to change my plansAnd cancel out the wedding-dayBut please, don't mention the lonely cellWhere I'm gonna pine away, until my dying-day.Take a message to MaryBut don't tell her all you knowMy heart is aching for MaryLord know I miss her soJust tell her that I went to TimbuktoTell her I'm searching for goldYou can say she better find someone newTo cherish and to hold, oh Lord, this cell is so cold.
