Mary
Copyright © 2002 Laramie Crocker
Love sits at the table, plays hearts with a trick
but I've played that hand, now the anger comes quick
I wandered around in this all-night town
And I found a bar to call home
And there's music and laughter and lots of good cheer
and a barmaid named Mary who brings you your beer
---- Chorus ----
And everyone here loves Mary, And Mary loves everyone here
Everyone here loves Mary, Mary loves everyone
Some day I'll ask her to be my bride,
But now I'll just ask for another beer, Mary
Mary smiles as she works the tables
and chats with the regular folks
Puts a hand on your shoulder as she comes around
and sits and laughs at your jokes
she wears oversized boots, undersized jeans
beauty and grace floating by in a tank top
---- Chorus ----
Sure, other girls come into the bar
and sure, they look cute for a while
but they yammer on cell phones when there's live music
or they smoke, or they're easy, bitchy, or dumb
and there's only one Mary, at least around here
I wait in my corner, 'till she brings my beer
---- Chorus ----
