Little Mary

They said the streets would all be paved with gold
A modern lady's very land
She didn't think that it could be so cold
And man it's not so hard to understand
With nobody around to hold her hand

They said your home is where your heart will stay
She laughed and said, "I'm not a child"
But now she says a prayer for every day
Before she run away into the wild
Before she ran away

Oooh, oo-ooh
Oh-oh, oo-oooh
Oh-ooh-ooh-oh
Little Mary Pebble's gone away
Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Oooh, oo-ooh
Oh-oh, oo-oooh
Oh-ooh-ooh-oh
Little Mary Pebble's gone away
A little Mary Pebble's gone away

She met a man who said he was the one
They live and loved as men and wife
But when she told him that he'd have her son
He gave her life and walked out of the light

She had no money for the papi's feet
No place to go, no place to stay
She saw her hand back and did one bad deed
To get enough to live another day

Oooh, oo-ooh
Oh-oh, oo-oooh
Oh-ooh-ooh-oh
Little Mary Pebble's gone away
Little Mary Pebble's gone away

Oooh, oo-ooh
Oh-oh, oo-oooh
Oh-ooh-ooh-oh
Little Mary Pebble's gone away
Little, little, little Mary Pebble's gone away

And now the bodies are so far away
Outside the stone grey concrete walls
The only thing she has to pass the day
Is a memory and a tear that often falls
Is a memory and a tear that often falls
