G D7
I saved up my money to buy my sweetheart some flowers
G
For Saturday’s date and I restlessly counted the hours
G7 C
Then today in the mail I received this short little note
D7 G
And I broke down inside at the message that her mother wrote
D7
Mary Ann regrets she’s unable to see you again
G
We’re leaving for Europe next week she’ll be busy ’till then
G7 C
They know that she loves me but poor boys don’t fit in their plan
D7 G
Goodbye good luck goodbye my sweet Mary Ann
D7
The weeks have gone by not a word have I heard since then
G
In the papers I read of the far away places she’s been
G7 C
I can’t eat I can’t sleep for over and over again
D7 G
My mind reads that letter and I cry for my Mary Ann
Repeat #2
D7
My Mary Ann died they say she just wasted away
G
If I could have seen her I know she’d be living today
G7 C
For we loved each other and if they had left us alone
D7 G
Today she’d be wearing my ring not a blanket of stone
