A WORD OR TWO TO MARY

--Rec. by Charley Pride --

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

That's what my buddy said to G7 me to- C -day;

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

He said I'll tell you G7 what I wanted to C say.

Chorus:

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

And I wish that I could watch the children G7 grow;

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

Just a word or two to G7 you before I C go.

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

I told the Lord to please take G7 me in- C -stead;

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

And just these words were G7 all your husband C said.

Chorus

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

He was the truest friend G7 I ever C had;

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

Tell them in a way G7 that it's from their C Dad.

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

And he wished that he could see his G7 children C grow;

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

And write a word or two to G7 Mary as they C grow.

And write a word or two to G7 Mary as they C grow.
