ODE TO MARY
Ooh
Ode to Mary, free spirits
Free truth
My mama pinned a rose on me
I went to see, I went to see, I went to see
(To see, to see)
Mary Lou Williams played Scorpio
Ran 'em keys back inside the piano
Free spirits, free spirits
Free truth, free in the air
So sharp, so sharp
Be sharp, so sharp
So sharp they bleed
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned a rose on me
I went to see, I went to see, I went to see (I went to see)
Ode to Mary, ode to Mary (free spirits)
Free truth
Free in the air
So sharp, be sharp
So sharp
So sharp they bleed
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned the rosary
My mama pinned the rose on me (ode to Mary)
Ode to Mary, (oh) yeah, (ode to Mary) ode to Mary
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned the rosary (ode to Mary)
My mama pinned the rosary
I went to see, I went to see Mary Lou Williams
(I went to see) ode to Mary
Took me to his grandmother's house
And I prayed at least 11 months before I came back to America
I cancelled all my work and everything and
I began praying for at least ten years straight
Off and on, Daizy Gillespie, he's such a wonderful guy
He'd call me to go out on gigs with him
And I'd go back in the house and pray again, you know?
Ode to Mary, free spirits
Free truth
My mama pinned a rose on me
I went to see, I went to see, I went to see
(To see, to see)
Mary Lou Williams played Scorpio
Ran 'em keys back inside the piano
Free spirits, free spirits
Free truth, free in the air
So sharp, so sharp
Be sharp, so sharp
So sharp they bleed
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned a rose on me
I went to see, I went to see, I went to see (I went to see)
Ode to Mary, ode to Mary (free spirits)
Free truth
Free in the air
So sharp, be sharp
So sharp
So sharp they bleed
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned the rosary
My mama pinned the rose on me (ode to Mary)
Ode to Mary, (oh) yeah, (ode to Mary) ode to Mary
My mama pinned a rose on me
My mama pinned the rosary (ode to Mary)
My mama pinned the rosary
I went to see, I went to see Mary Lou Williams
(I went to see) ode to Mary
Took me to his grandmother's house
And I prayed at least 11 months before I came back to America
I cancelled all my work and everything and
I began praying for at least ten years straight
Off and on, Daizy Gillespie, he's such a wonderful guy
He'd call me to go out on gigs with him
And I'd go back in the house and pray again, you know?
