Lyrics
MARY © 2003 Jed Woodhouse
Mary, Mary quite contrary
Mary, Mary quite contrary
Mary, Mary quite contrary
Mary, Mary quite contrary
Mary, Mary how does your garden grow?
Silver bells
Silver bells
Quite contrary
Silver bells
Mary, quite contrary
Silver bells
She sits alone in a chair
Arms wrapped round her knees
She looks round the room one last time
She reaches down to pick up her bag
She reaches down to pick up her bag
Mary, Mary quite contrary
She sits alone in a chair
Arms wrapped round her knees
She looks round the room one last time
She reaches down to pick up her bag
Quite contrary
Silver bells
She reaches down to pick up her bag
Quite contrary
Silver bells
She reaches down to pick up her bag
Quite contrary
Silver bells
