Mary Jane Merrick

I'll wait for Jane Merrick to sit on your lap
And break your little stone hand
You cry out in pain but are ultimately thankful
'Cause you know that it's all for the best
Mary tapes your knuckles and wraps your tiny arm
And two lovers run off in the night
Say goodbye to black horses and white apples
And hello to your chariot tonight

I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
And you were waiting too

Here comes your man drenched in steel armor
Welcome back come inside
Here comes your jester floppy as always
The porch looks comfy tonight
The creek is a dark place for out of towners
Come on and take a drink
White sandals protect you from the moisture
And blue ink from the beast

And I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
I was waiting for you
But you were waiting too

He just wants his hand in your hand
He just wants his hand in your hand
He just wants his hand in your hand
And I just want my hand in your hand
