Oh Mary oh Mary

Oh Mary oh Mary
     where is it you've gone
Your face but a mem'ry
     as is your sweet song
Have you found at last
     where you know you belong
Oh Mary oh Mary 
     where is it you've gone

Oh Mary oh Mary
    life lived so obscure
You set free your soul
     and gave your love so pure
All the slings and arrows
     you did bravely endure
Oh Mary oh Mary
     life lived so obscure

Oh Mary oh Mary
     you should have been wed
And lived in a small house
     with a big feather bed
But you made other plans
     and you took off instead
Oh Mary oh Mary
     you should have been wed

Oh Mary oh Mary
     with the angels so high
You were handed your wings
     as the world said good-bye
You been taken beyond
     all the stars in the sky
Oh Mary oh Mary
    with the angels so high

Oh Mary oh Mary
     where is it you've gone
Your face but a mem'ry
     as is your sweet song
Have you found at last
     where you know you belong
Oh Mary oh Mary
     where is it you've gone
