t. guy - tell uncle john lyrics

Loading...

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
she was docked in the river
but the waters were much too strong

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone

uncle loved that ship
more than he ever loved his girl
used to tell us how he sailed it
throughout this whole wide world
now, i’ve never seen old john
leave his bottle or his home…

but, tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone

word ‘round town
says that boat never saw the sea
though john would always board it
and in very good company
and the ship would be rocking
from dusk ‘til the early dawn

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
she was found in the rocks
not a piece had survived the stones
tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
when uncle heard the news
he ran to the riverside
while right behind her husband
aunt mary couldn’t hide a smile
she said “john, you old fool
don’t you know what i can do?
now you oughta learn not to be untrue!”

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
gone, like the ship
was his wife and his happy home

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone

tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
she was found in the rocks
not a piece had survived the stones…
tell uncle john the sweet mary’s gone
