lyrics

Mary – Julu Irvine

Well the sun it rose up on one cold summer morning, to steal the faint heart of our lady of love, and there through the town passed the prince in his finery. Face of the brave, heart of a fool.
No maiden treads lightly who carries such burden, the darling bud blossoms that faces the dawn, and there in the street our young Mary stepped out. The bow of the cupid did ring out the day.
Now our young prince was pure but his eyes were a roving, and Marys tight corset did lift up his gown. Without thinking twice he jumped down to our Mary, he took both her hands, and stole her heart.
Chorus:
And the men in the street they cried Mary no Mary no your mother is crying downstairs. And the birds in the sky they sang fly away now mary, your virtue once lost….will never return.

Hour after hour our young prince came a courting, with flowers and blossoms and sweetest delights. Trinkets of love, or a false sentiment for twas on Mary’s virtue, our prince had his eye.
Now at first it did seem our young prince remained truthful, safely enveloped in sweet Mary’s love, but time it did pass and his eyes began roving, the taste of another, seemed sweeter than wine.
Chorus
One night, Mary woke, disturbed from her slumber, to find her bed cold where her prince should have been. Fed up with his roving she dressed in his clothing, and ordered the servants, his carriage to prepare.
When the prince, he returned, full of drink and quite merry to a cold empty house not a candle alight. She’d robbed him of coin, his horses and household, crying “foolish the man, to cross Mary Rose”!
Chorus
