A WORD OR TWO TO MARY

C F C

A word or two to Mary, please write a letter for me,

G7 C

That's what my buddy said to me to--day

F C

I couldn't keep from cryin', sad eyes are lookin' at me,

G7 C

He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say.

Chorus:

F C

Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just hate to leave you alone,

G7

And I wish that I could watch the children grow

C F C

But there's no use denyin' I won't be comin' back home,

G7 C

Just a word or two to you before I go.

F C

Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live,

G7 C

I told the Lord to please take me in--stead

F C

But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give,

G7 C

And just these words were all your husband said.

Chorus

F C

A word or two to Mary, I must add some of my own,

G7 C

He was the truest friend I ever had

F C

I'll keep writing letters to her, help the children along,

G7 C

Tell them in a way that it's from their Dad.

F C

He didn't mind dyin'. he just hated to leave you alone,

G7 C

And he wished that he could see his children grow

F C

I'll be standing by them, as I know he'd want me to,

G7 C

And write a word or two to Mary as they grow.

G7 C

And write a word or two to Mary as they grow.
