ThEese are the words of a frontier lad Who G#mlost his love when B7he turned bad E
Verse 1:
TEake a message to Mary But dB7on't tell her where I am TEake a message to Mary But dB7on't say I'm in a jam You can C#mtell her I had to G#msee the world Or C#mtell her that my sF#hip set sB7ail You can sEay she G#mbetter not wAait for Eme But dC#mon't tell her I'm in jail Oh, dEon't tell her IB7'm in jEail
Verse 2: Take a message to Mary But don't tell her what I've done Please don't mention the stagecoach And the shot from a careless gun You can tell her I had to change my plans And cancel out the wedding day But please don't mention my lonely cell Where I'm gonna pine away Until my dying day Verse 3: Take a message to Mary But don't tell her all you know My heart's achin' for Mary Lord knows I miss her so Just tell her I went to Timbuktu Tell her I'm searchin' for gold You can say she better find someone new To cherish and to hold Oh, Lord, this cell is cold Coda: E C#m Mary, Ma-A-A-A-ary
Oh, LEord this cB7ell is cEold
