Take A Message To Lyrics

song lyrics Take A Message To Mary lyrics These are the words of a frontier man Who lost his love when he turned bad. Take a message to Mary But don t tell here where I am Take a message to Mary But don t say I m in a jam You can tell her that I had to see the world Tell her that my ship set sail You can say she d better not wait for me But don t tell her I m in jail, oh don t tell her I m in jail. Take a message to Mary But don t tell her what I ve done Please, don t mention the stage coach And the shot from a carried gun You better tell her that I had to change my plans And cancel out the wedding-day But please, don t mention the lonely cell Where I m gonna pine away, until my dying-day. Take a message to Mary But don t tell her all you know My heart is aching for Mary Lord know I miss her so Just tell her that I went to Timbukto Tell her I m searching for gold You can say she better find someone new To cherish and to hold, oh Lord, this cell is so cold. song lyrics
