wait for me mary-anne

hey!

there's a small town lyin' by the river

halfway to nowhere

where the trains just stop to take on water

but my girl

she lives there

she ain't

got jewels

she don't

have money

but she makes my whole world sunny

wears

no make-up

on her face

but where she is

well that's my place

and i'm going home to my girl

wait for me mary-anne

please stay free mary-anne

i'm comin' home girl

just as soon as i can

wait for me mary-anne

you will see mary-anne

with i was born

to be your true lovin' man

in the city life gets awful lonely

for a boy making good

and it's hard to keep your sense of values

and to do things you should

girls

come easy

try

to make you

just as soon they'll try to break you

when

the city

fills

my eyes

then i remember summer skies

then dream of the place i belong

wait for me mary-anne

please stay free mary-anne

i'm comin' home girl

just as soon as i can

wait for me mary-anne

you will see mary-anne

that i was born to be your true lovin' man

wait for me mary-anne

please stay free mary-anne

i'm comin' home girl just as soon as i can

wait for me.
