tough mary

yeah

that's me

the boys would come from miles around

with presents every day

but when they'd call on mary

this is what she'd say

don't bring me posies

when it's shoes i need

don't bring me flowers

don't bring me the sea

just bring me diamonds

that'll suit me fine

and i'll love you forever

and you'll be mine

well mary

she's a very pretty girl

i guess she was born that way

but whenever they would tell her that

this is what she'd say

don't bring me posies

when it's shoes i need

don't bring me flowers

don't bring me the sea

come on and bring me some diamonds

that'll suit me fine

and i'll love you forever

and you'll be mine

tough mary

tough mary. oh

don't bring me posies

when it's shoes i need

don't bring me flowers

don't bring me the sea

come on and bring me some diamonds

that'll suit me fine

and i'll love you forever

and you'll be mine

oh

yeah
