《A Word or Two to Mary》歌词

[00:00:00] A Word or Two to Mary - Lefty Frizzell

[00:00:01] Written by：Vance Bulla/Peter Cotton

[00:00:09] A word or two to Mary please write a letter for me

[00:00:16] That's what my buddy said to me today

[00:00:24] I couldn't keep from crying sad eyes are looking at me

[00:00:31] He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say

[00:00:39] Oh I don't mind dying I just hate to leave you alone

[00:00:46] And I wish that I could watch the children grow

[00:00:54] But there's no use denying I won't be coming back home

[00:01:02] Just a word or two to you before I go

[00:01:09] Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live

[00:01:17] I told the Lord to please take me instead

[00:01:25] But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give

[00:01:32] And just these words were all your husband said

[00:01:40] A word or two to Mary I must add some of my own

[00:01:47] He was the truest friend I ever had

[00:01:55] I'll keep writing letters to her and help the children along

[00:02:03] Tell them in a way that it's from their dad

[00:02:10] He didn't mind dying he just hated to leave you alone

[00:02:18] And he wished that he could see his children grow

[00:02:26] I'll be standing by them as I know he'd want me to

[00:02:33] And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
