Lyrics
Chorus
If you see my Mary, say I wish her well
Tell her that this cowboy?s life is shining like a bell.
Tell her I am happy, as happy as can be
If you see my Mary, please say these words for me.
********
Don?t say that I am broken, or that I am frail
Don?t tell her of my life out on the Chisholm Trail.
Tell her of a picket fence and a house of blue
Tell her of a garden shining in the dew.
********
Don?t tell her of my sadness, or what you may have seen
Don?t tell her of my run-in up in Abilene.
Tell her of a homestead, tall within the corn
Tell her of the deer that feed, in the early morn?.
********
Chorus
********
Let me buy a round boys, for the girl I knew
And I?ll tell you of her golden hair and her eyes of blue.
And I?ll tell a story of when this bloke was young.
And if and when I have too much, I?ll mourn where I went wrong.
