Il testo della The kindness of strangers

They found mary bellows cuffed to the bed
With a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
O poor mary bellows

She'd grown up hungry, she'd grown up poor
She left her home in arkansas
O poor mary bellows

She wanted to see the deep blue sea
She traveled across tennessee
O poor mary bellows

She met a man along the way
He introduced himself as richard slade
O poor mary bellows

Poor mary thought that she might die
When she saw the ocean for the first time
O poor mary bellows

She checked into a cheap little place
Richard slade carried in her old suitcase
O poor mary bellows

"i'm a good girl, sir" she said to him
I couldn't possibly permit you in
O poor mary bellows

Slade tipped his hat and winked his eye
And turned away without goodbye
O poor mary bellows

She sat on her bed and thought of home
With the sea breeze whistling all alone
O poor mary bellows

In hope and loneliness she crossed the floor
And undid the latch on her front door
O poor mary bellows

They found her the next day cuffed to the bed
A rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
O poor mary bellows

So mothers keep your girls at home
Don't let them journey all alone
Tell them this world is full of danger
The shun the company of strangers
O poor mary bellows
O poor mary bellows
