Lyrics
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where are you goin' come marryin' time?
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where are you goin' that day?
I'm goin' to meet you
And Stand by your side
I'll always be with you
As your loving bride.
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
O How I love you today.
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where are you goin' come child bearin' time?
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where are you goin' that day?
I'm goin' to give you
A son for your name
A daughter to love you
In sickness and pain
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
O How I love you today.
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where are you goin' come buryin' time?
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where are you goin' that day?
I'm goin' to leave you
As leave you I must
For it's ashes to ashes
And this earth to dust.
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
O How I miss you today.
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where will I see you come my ending time?
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
Where will I see you that day?
You'll see me in roses
And flowers that bloom
You'll feel me in breezes
That float through your room.
Mary, O Mary, Sweet Mary Of Mine
I will be with you today.
