[Intro]
Well howdy there folks
This here's a cautionary tale about love gone wrong
Kick back, lend an ear, give it a listen
Mary had a Harry [?], poor Harry's gonna wind up dead
Here's a song about how Mary turned Harry's world upside-down
Harry
Well, you'll just have to find out

[Verse 1, Audra Mae]
This motherfucker
You never come around, you leave me here
And in the bottom of my heart I fear
You ain't comin' home, why'd you have to leave me here all alone
Harry, spend a little time on me

[Chorus]
Harry, Mary
You're my friend, you're my lover
We're no different from each other
(Mary, Harry) spend a little time on me

[Verse 2, Sam Plecker]
I don't know why you have to get so upset (whatchu mean?)
But there you go, losin' your head
Why do we have to fight? I don't want to come home every night
Mary, what can I do?
[Chorus]
Harry, Mary
You're my friend, you're my lover
We're no different from each other
Mary, what can I do

[Verse 3, Audra Mae]
How am I in love with you after everything you've put me through
Remember what I said, if you ever leave you're gonna lose your head
Harry, spend a little time on me

[Verse 4, Sam Plecker]
All you ever do is put me down
I'll be happy when you're in the ground
I'm goin' out, I don't wanna have to hear you scream and shout
Mary, won't you just let me be

[Bridge, Audra Mae]
Oh Harry, no one walks out on me (always bringin' it up in front of the kids)

[Chorus]
Harry, Mary
You're my friend, you're my lover
We're no different from each other
(Harry, Mary) spend a little time on me
[Outro]
So you never have to wonder, Harry's buried six feet under
Mary's in the penitentiary
(I'm sorry, Harry)
