Il testo della I haven't seen mary in years

While walking one day in the country i saw a gathering crowd
And as my footsteps threw me closer i smell a sweet fragrance of flowers
That looked like a family reunion and my eyes not counted the tears
And the no man said by the graveside i haven't seen mary in years
Hold my hand and leave me leave me away from here
I just brought these flowers for mary i haven't seen mary in years

When mary and i were first married we had such plans for our child
But for no reason i started rambling and like the four winds i just ran wild
If i could just live my life over i would bring mary such cheers
Now she's gone where she'll never need me i haven't seen mary in years
Hold my hand and leave me...

Then the old man left the graveyard and i walked along by his side
I called out his name but through all his shame his son he did not rocognize
Hold my hand and leave me leave me away from here
How could i know it was mama i haven't seen mama in years
