Mother Mary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you want to elope tonight?
Getting lost in the shadows
All dressed up like a switchblade knife
Let's hang in love from the gallows
Or we can take a walk around the lake
There's a garden in the park there
Under the stars next to the fireside
Anywhere is better than here
[Hook]
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
[Verse 2]
Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination
Oh well! Too bad! Who cares? It's all right!
As long as we will stick together
In hell we'll run in rows of sunshine
We'll watch it rise and shine forever
Do you want to elope tonight?
Getting lost in the shadows
All dressed up like a switchblade knife
Let's hang in love from the gallows
Or we can take a walk around the lake
There's a garden in the park there
Under the stars next to the fireside
Anywhere is better than here
[Hook]
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
[Verse 2]
Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination
Oh well! Too bad! Who cares? It's all right!
As long as we will stick together
In hell we'll run in rows of sunshine
We'll watch it rise and shine forever
[Hook]
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
[Guitar Solo]
[Hook]
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
[Guitar Solo]
[Hook]
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This is the second track on Stop, Drop and Roll!!!.
It introduces Mary, a repeating character who appears in other tracks like Red Tide by name.
It’s a beautiful love song, with the narrator asking her out on a date and then discussing the happiness she brings to their life.
