Mary Elizabeth is getting inquisitive
Whether or not to say goodbye
Come to the city where girls rose up
In the country where Mary gets punchy
She has to arise at 5:00 a.m
Amen

Oh, Mary
Won't you come on down where you belong
Mary
If she don't calm down
She'll lose her dreams
With leaves of autumn till spring

March brings the flowers
And Mary spends hours
Occasional rain
Occasional shine

Come to the city
Where boys meet girls from the country
He'll tell you you're pretty
And you won't get to bed till 5:00 a.m
Amen

Oh, Mary
Won't you come on down where you belong
Mary
If she don't calm down
She'll lose her dreams
With leaves of autumn till spring
Don't lose your dreams
Mary Elizabeth
Don't lose your dreams
Mary Elizabeth
