Lyrics
Hey Now Mary Dyer.
Could have been Could have been a liar.
Could have had a pretty good life
Could have been a pretty good wife
But they hanged you in the Common
For being uncommon
For being uncommon
Hey what would it take you.
Could have been could have been a faker.
Could have just changed your maker
Just stop being a Quaker
But they hanged you in the Common
For being uncommon
For being uncommon
Oh, I walked by her.
Stand all alone
Ask for the fire
to stand on my own.
Oh's
Hey Now Mary Dyer.
Could have been Could have been a liar.
Could have had a pretty good life
Could have been a pretty good wife
But they hanged you in the Common
For being uncommon
For being uncommon
