^DJesus says Mother I ^Ecouldn't stay another day ^Alonger ^DFlies right by me, leaves a ^Ekiss upon her ^Aface While the ^Dangels are singin' his ^Epraises in a blaze of ^Aglory Mary stays be^B7hind and starts cleaning up the ^Dplace ^E

Oh ^AMary, she moves be^Dhind me She leaves her ^Afingerprints every^Ewhere Every time the ^Asnow drifts, every way the ^Dsand shifts Even when the ^Anight lifts, she's always ^Ethere

^DJesus says Mother I ^Ecouldn't stay another day ^Alonger ^DFlies right by me, leaves a ^Ekiss upon her ^Aface While the ^Dangels are singin' his ^Epraises in a blaze of ^Aglory Mary stays be^B7hind and starts cleaning up the ^Dplace ^E
