ballad of mary ann - carolina blue lyrics

[verse 1]
mary ann, sweet mary ann
i remember long ago when we walked hand*in*hand
mary ann, my mary ann
i wish the war was over so i could be your man
mary ann, my love
i’m writing to you, to let you know at last, the war is nearly through
i made it through fine, and i am still alive
and soon i will be coming home to be by your side

[verse 2]
mary ann, i’ve got a good plan
we’ll buy a little farm, and live off of the land
’till my dying day, i’ll always be true
oh, mary ann, my love, i’m coming home to you
willie, my dear, i’ve just read the mail
and i am so glad that you are doing well
but i am afraid to tell you the news
of sweet mary ann, the girl you love so true

[verse 3]
a short month ago, before your letter came
my daughter fell sick, somewhere along the way
she tried to hold on, her love for you was strong
oh willie, i’m sorry, but mary ann is gone
when i read the news, i fell to the ground
i longed for her there, but she could not be found
and now i have learned, of that dreadful day
i wish i had died on that battlefield of gray
[verse 4]
mary ann, sweet mary ann
someday i’ll hold your hand, up there in glory land
when it comes my time, and i am gonna go
i’ll stroll with you there on the streets made of gold
