arms of mary

the lights shine down the valley

the wind blows up the alley

oh how i wish i were lying in the

arms of mary

she took the pains of boyhood

and turned them into feel good

oh hw i wish i were lying in the

arms of mary

mary was the girl who taught me all i had

to know--she put me right on my first mistake

summer wasn't gone when i'd learned all she had

to show--she really gave all a boy could take

so now when i feel lonely

still looking for the one and only

that's when i wish i were lying in the

arms of mary

mary was the girl who taught me all i had

to know--she put me right on my first mistake

summer wasn't gone when i'd learned all she had to show

she really gave all a boy could take. the lights shine down the valley

the wind blows up the alley

oh how i wish i were lying in the

arms of mary
