| [00:01.889] |
These are the words of a frontier lad |
| [00:06.926] |
Who lost his love when he turned bad |
| [00:19.021] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [00:22.972] |
But don't tell her where I am |
| [00:27.432] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [00:31.300] |
But don't say I'm in a jam |
| [00:35.266] |
You can tell her I had to see the world |
| [00:39.678] |
Or tell her that my ship set sail |
| [00:43.406] |
You can say she better not wait for me |
| [00:48.675] |
But don't tell her I'm in jail |
| [00:51.600] |
Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail |
| [00:55.987] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [00:59.791] |
But don't tell her what I've done |
| [01:03.981] |
Please don't mention the stagecoach |
| [01:07.628] |
And the shot from a careless gun |
| [01:11.627] |
You can tell her I had to change my plans |
| [01:15.894] |
And cancel out the wedding day |
| [01:19.587] |
But please don't mention my lonely cell |
| [01:23.930] |
Where I'm gonna pine away |
| [01:27.726] |
Until my dying day |
| [01:32.826] |
Take a message to Mary |
| [01:36.150] |
But don't tell her all you know |
| [01:40.336] |
My heart's aching for Mary |
| [01:44.023] |
Lord knows I miss her so |
| [01:48.031] |
Just tell her I went to Timbuktu |
| [01:52.393] |
Tell her I'm searching for gold |
| [01:56.004] |
You can say she better find someone new |
| [02:00.340] |
To cherish and to hold |
| [02:04.156] |
Oh, Lord, this cell is cold |
