(Bobby Bare)

Won't you let me tell you 'bout Mary
I promise it won't take me very long
'Cause all I have to say about Mary
Is I'm afraid my Mary's gone wrong.

The day I went away and left Mary
She promised she would wait eternally for me
But I came back today heard my Mary
Say yes, she don't want any part of me.

So now won't you let me tell you 'bout Mary
I promise it won't take me very long
'Cause all I have to say about Mary
Is I'm afraid my Mary's gone wrong.

I came back and went by to see Mary
But she couldn't even look me in the eye
Then when I asked her what happened
I stood there and watched my Mary cry.

So won't you let me tell you 'bout Mary
I promise it won't take me very long
'Cause all I have to say about Mary
Is I'm afraid my Mary's gone wrong.

Oh. I'm afraid my Mary's goin' wrong...
