Mary Ann Regrets — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(Harlan Howard)

I save up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday`s date and I restlessly counted the hours
And today in the mail I recieved a short little note
And I`d broke down, inside the message that her mother wrote.

Mary Ann regrets she`s unable to see you again
We`ll leaving for Europe next week she`ll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don`t fit in their plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.

The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the far away places she`s been
I can`t eat I can`t sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann.

Mary Ann regrets she`s unable to see you again
We`ll leaving for Europe next week she`ll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don`t fit in their plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann.

My Mary had died too sad she just wasted away
If I could have seen her I know she`d be living today
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone
Today she`d be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone.

Mary Ann regrets she`s unable to see you again
We`ll leaving for Europe next week she`ll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor boys don`t fit in their plans
Goodbye true love, goodbye my sweet Mary Ann...
