radney foster - the kindness of strangers lyrics

Loading...

they found mary bellows cuffed to the bed
with a rag in her mouth and a bullet in her head
o poor mary bellows

she’d grown up hungry, she’d grown up poor
so she left her home in arkansas
o poor mary bellows

she wanted to see the deep blue sea
she drove across tennessee
o poor mary bellows

she met a man along the way
he introduced himself as richard slade
o poor mary bellows

poor mary thought that she might die
when she saw the ocean for the first time
o poor mary bellows

she checked into a cheap little place
richard slade carried in her old suitcase
o poor mary bellows

“i’m a good girl, sir.” she said to him
i couldn’t possibly permit you in
o poor mary bellows

slade tipped his head and winked his eye
and turned away without goodbye
o poor mary bellows

she sat on her bed and thought of home
with the sea breeze whistling all alone
o poor mary bellows

in hope and loneliness she crossed the floor
and undid the latch on the front door
o poor mary bellows

they found her cuffed to the bed
a rag in her mouth, and a bullet in her head
o poor mary bellows

so mothers keep your girls at home
don’t let them go on a journey out alone
tell them this world is full of danger
and to shun the company of strangers
o poor mary bellows
o poor mary bellows
