Mary Ann Regrets - Burl Ives
I saved up my money to
Buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and
I restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail
I received this short little note
And I broke down inside at
The message that her mother wrote
Mary Ann regrets she's
Unable to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me
But poor boys don't
Fit in their plan
Good-bye true love
Good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
The weeks have gone
By not a word have
I heard since then;
In the papers I read of
The far away places she's been
I can't eat I can't sleep
For over and over again
My mind reads that letter
And I cry for my Mary Ann
Mary Ann regrets she's
Unable to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me
But poor boys don't
Fit in their plan
Good-bye true love
Good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
My Mary Ann died
They said she just wasted away;
If I could have seen her
I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other
And if they'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring
Not a blanket of stone
Mary Ann regrets she's
Unable to see you again;
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me
But poor boys don't
Fit in their plan
Good-bye true love
Good-bye my sweet
Mary-Ann
