phyllis sinclair - mary jo lyrics

mary+jo left thompson this morning, not a note, not a word of warning
she just packed her bags in the car and hit the road alone
left the kids at the strand theatre
with tear filled eyes she said “see you later”
gave a kiss and a hug, and their shirts a tug
though it broke her heart, she needs a brand new start
mary+jo, mary+jo

mary+jo i can’t understand it, why they talk, and have you branded for upholding the laws and defending a cause for the weak
jesus said, “let all men be brothers”
i’m sure hе meant be fair to others
not just to thosе of the status quo
yet they criticize, they’ve ostracized mary+jo, mary+jo

mary+jo you see no dividers
no black or white, no wrong or righters
mary+jo they say that you’re a sinner
i must confess i think that you’re a winner mary+jo, mary+jo

mary+jo you’re smart and a nine+er
but you feel like a nickel miner digging underground, in the dark, chipping walls of stone
they seek for truth that’s why you can forgive them
they have a right to what they believe in
‘ think they hold the key, so they just won’t see
i’m not her judge, can’t hold a grudge ‘gainst mary+jo
mary+jo
mary+jo you see no dividers
no black or white, no wrong or righters
mary+jo they say that you’re a sinner
i must confess i think that you’re a winner mary+jo, mary+jo

mary jo left thompson this morning
