Mary Lee

Mother is fucked up
And Father is fucked up
But they're not as fucked up as me
This dear has trestles hanging to her ankles
This dear's far wiser than me

"What's that sound?"
The sound of Mary Lee's heart breaking
She was to be my one and only true love
"What's that sound?"
The sound of Mars and Venus clashing
Every time that girl hitches up her skirt

Oh, she and me should drink more whiskey
Oh, Mary Lee, forgive me
I am tempted, I am tempted
Oh, she and I should drink more wine
Mary Lee, all this time
I've been thinking of drinking with another

On line 22 of page 36
Of the book she was reading, contained both our names
I took this to mean we were meant to be
And I would be leaving my sweet Mary Lee

"What's that sound?"
The sound of Mary Lee's heart breaking
She was to be my one and only true love
"What's that sound?"
The sound of Mars and Venus clashing
Every time that girl hitches up her skirt

Oh, she and me should drink more whiskey
Oh, Mary Lee, forgive me
I am tempted, I am tempted
Oh, she and I should drink more wine
Mary Lee, all this time
I've been thinking of another

Oh, she and me should drink more whiskey
Oh, Mary Lee, forgive me
I am tempted, I am tempted
Oh, she and I should drink more wine
Mary Lee, all this time
I've been thinking of drinking with another
