mel tillis – i haven’t seen mary in years lyrics
while walking one day in the country i saw a gathering crowd
and as my footsteps threw me closer i smell a sweet fragrance of flowers
that looked like a family reunion and my eyes not counted the tears
and the no man said by the graveside i haven’t seen mary in years
hold my hand and leave me leave me away from here
i just brought these flowers for mary i haven’t seen mary in years
when mary and i were first married we had such plans for our child
but for no reason i started rambling and like the four winds i just ran wild
if i could just live my life over i would bring mary such cheers
now she’s gone where she’ll never need me i haven’t seen mary in years
hold my hand and leave me…
then the old man left the graveyard and i walked along by his side
i called out his name but through all his shame his son he did not rocognize
hold my hand and leave me leave me away from here
how could i know it was mama i haven’t seen mama in years
