David Allan Coe - Crazy Mary
Capo 1
[Intro]
D A D A
[Chorus]
D
Crazy Mary from London Berry
C#
Lives next door to the cemetery
C
How many lovers have you buried
G
We would shout, running scared
D C# B
Along the green and golden paths
A C C# D A
That took us home, away from Crazy Mary.
D
In the lamplight burning low
C#
Dimly through enchanted woods
C
She rocks beside the fire that never was lit
G D C# B
And as we ran on by
A
Pretending to be frightened
D A
We'd shout and laugh at Crazy Mary.
D
She would never answer us
C#
Smiled through the window softly
C
Wild-eyed and wild-haired but we were sure
G D
That in the dark of night
C# B A
She cursed us soundly, casting spells
C# D
And such to turn us into donkeys.
[Chorus]
D
So it seems that older now
C#
We stand upon this wind-swept moor
C
The lonely grave before us
G D C# B
Testifies that Crazy Mary sings and dreams
B
He dreams somewhere
A C C# D A
But not where little kids can follow after
D
And on the stone, these words, dear friend
C#
Please write me down as one who loved
C
The raven-haired and laughing lads
G
That swore that they would marry me
D C# C
And soon their sons came running by
C# D A
And here I lie, forgotten, Crazy Mary.
[Chorus]
D A
