A Word Or Two To Mary
Chraley Pride
Album: Make Mine Country (Vinyl) (1960's)


C                               F                  C   
A word or two to Mary, please  write a letter for  me,
                              G7      C
That's what my buddy said to  me to--day
                                 F                   C
I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are lookin' at me,
                        G7              C
He said I'll tell you  what I wanted to say.
                                           
  Chorus:
                               F                 C
Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone,
                                             G7
And I wish that I could watch the children  grow
             C               F                 C
But there's  no use denyin' I won't be comin' back home,
                       G7            C
Just a word or two to you before I  go.


                               F                   C
Down on my knees beside him I  begged my buddy to live,
                               G7      C
I told the Lord to please take me in--stead
                               F                 C
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give,
                          G7                C
And just these words were all your husband  said.

                                   Chorus

                           F                    C
A word or two to Mary, I  must  add some of my  own,
                         G7      C
He was the truest friend  I ever had
                                   F                  C
I'll keep writing letters to her, help the children  along,
                    G7                  C
Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad.

                              F                  C
He didn't mind dyin'. he just hated to leave you alone,
                                     G7       C
And he wished that he could see his children grow
                               F                 C
I'll be standing by them, as I know he'd want me to,
                             G7          C
And write a word or two to  Mary as they grow.
                             G7          C
And write a word or two to  Mary as they grow.
