I Haven't Seen Mary In Years
While walkin' one day in the country
I saw a gatherin' crowd
And as my footsteps drew me closer
I could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers
It looked like a family reunion
Had my eyes not counted the tears
And an old man sat by a graveside
I haven't seen Mary in years
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years
When Mary and I were first married
We had such plans for a child
But for no reason I started ramblin'
Like the four winds, I just ran wild
If I could live my life over
I'd bring my Mary such cheer
Now she's gone where she'll never see me
And I haven't seen Mary in years
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years
And when the old man left the graveside
I hopped along by his side
I called out his name but through all his shame
His son, he could not recognize
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
Oh, how could I know it was mama
I haven't seen mama in years
I saw a gatherin' crowd
And as my footsteps drew me closer
I could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers
It looked like a family reunion
Had my eyes not counted the tears
And an old man sat by a graveside
I haven't seen Mary in years
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years
When Mary and I were first married
We had such plans for a child
But for no reason I started ramblin'
Like the four winds, I just ran wild
If I could live my life over
I'd bring my Mary such cheer
Now she's gone where she'll never see me
And I haven't seen Mary in years
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
I just brought these flowers for Mary
I haven't seen Mary in years
And when the old man left the graveside
I hopped along by his side
I called out his name but through all his shame
His son, he could not recognize
Hold my hand and lead me
Lead me away from here
Oh, how could I know it was mama
I haven't seen mama in years
