MY MARY
Written by Jimmie Davis and Stewart Hamblen
(Recorded January 9, 1958)


I take a trip every evening
Journey down memory lane
Strolling again those familiar paths
Dreaming those dreams again

I can always see my sweetheart
Dressed like she used to be
Waiting for someone by the garden gate
I know that someone is me

Big brown eyes
Ruby lips
Can't you tell it’s Mary

Rosy cheeks
Curly hair
Can't you tell it’s my Mary?

Oft’ times in the evening we'd go strolling
Hand in hand together beneath the pepper trees
I can feel her hand in mine as I sit alone tonight
Dreaming of the hours I've spent with my Mary

(Repeat last verse)
