Many years ago in Brushcreek Georgia
C D7
Molly Marlo was a virgin girl
C G
She lived a mile from a fool named Barney Dawson
D7 G
Hell bent on getting inside Molly's world
D7 G
He caught her after church one Sunday morning
C D7
And took her body with his rough hard hands
C G
And walked off laughing as she lay there crying
D7 G
Since then she's been known as No Man's Land
Em G
Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Em G
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
C
The men all tried but she denied them
G Em
And they sighed and wrung their hands
D7 G
But they couldn't go walking in No Man's Land
D7 G
Molly grew into a luscious beauty
C D7
Each man's head would turn as she walked by
C G
And as their hot eyes watched her body moving
D7 G
They'd swallow hard and shake their heads and sigh
D7 G
Molly went to school and studied nursing
C D7
Now you might laugh but it's an honest fact
C G
The first year that she nursed at Milliards Clinic
D7 G
Six men pretended they had heart attacks
Em G
Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Em G
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
C
The men all tried but she denied them
G Em
And they sighed and wrung their hands
D7 G
But they couldn't go walking in No Man's Land
D7 G
Years later Barney Dawson lay in prison
C D7
In feverish pain that suffering shell of a man
C G
He was glad to see the nurse from Milliards Clinic
D7 G
Till he saw the burning eyes of No Man's Land
Em G
Molly Marlo was No Man's Land
Em G
Love could never grow in No Man's Land
C
Barney cried but she denied him
G Em
And he prayed and wrung his hands
D7 G
Now his soul's walking through No Man's Land
