[00:02.94]These are the words of a frontier man
[00:05.25]
[00:06.06]Who lost his love when he turned bad.
[00:09.30]
[00:25.70]Take a message to Mary
[00:27.07]
[00:29.15]But don't tell here where I am
[00:31.72]
[00:34.17]Take a message to Mary
[00:35.26]
[00:37.77]But don't say I'm in a jam
[00:39.91]
[00:41.66]You can tell her that I had to see the world
[00:44.77]
[00:45.83]Tell her that my ship set sail
[00:48.20]
[00:50.21]You can say she'd better not wait for me
[00:53.53]
[00:54.52]But don't tell her I'm in jail, oh don't tell her I'm in jail.
[01:02.06]
[01:04.14]Take a message to Mary
[01:05.95]
[01:07.69]But don't tell her what I've done
[01:09.82]
[01:12.12]Please, don't mention the stage coach
[01:14.43]
[01:15.55]And the shot from a carried gun
[01:18.11]
[01:19.86]You better tell her that I had to change my plans
[01:23.36]
[01:24.17]And cancel out the wedding-day
[01:26.60]
[01:28.41]But please, don't mention the lonely cell
[01:31.59]
[01:32.84]Where I'm gonna pine away, until my dying-day.
[01:39.57]
[01:55.16]Take a message to Mary
[01:56.59]
[01:58.72]But don't tell her all you know
[02:00.90]
[02:03.08]My heart is aching for Mary
[02:05.03]Lord know I miss her so
[02:09.33]
[02:11.45]Just tell her that I went to Timbukto
[02:13.82]
[02:15.44]Tell her I'm searching for gold
[02:17.83]
[02:19.47]You can say she better find someone new
[02:22.98]
[02:24.04]To cherish and to hold, oh Lord, this cell is so cold.
