Arms of mary

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
That’s when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer hadn’t gone til I learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely
Still thinking ‘bout my one and only
That’s when I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer hadn’t gone til I learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take Oh, how I miss her so
All the love she showed
Mmm, so long ago

Mary was the girl who taught me all I had to know
She put me right on the first mistake
Summer hadn’t gone til I learned all she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into feel good
Oh, and I wish I was lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms of Mary, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
