Mary was my sweetheart,
Hair so long and fine,
Mary had a sweet heart
Or so I thought at the time
But then I saw her with another,
And man, that really blew my mind
Mary liked to kiss me,
Lips like cool morning dew,
I told her that I loved her
And she said she loved me too
But then I saw her with another,
And don't know really what to do
(Refrain)
Buying and trading with other's loves and lives
Don't you know that's a game I despise
Mary had a way of walking,
Enough to make a grown man cry
And her way of talking
Seemed to put stars in the sky
But I caught her with another
And so I had to say goodbye
