I had my friends, I had my whores
I've lived the life by my own laws
The laws were rum, the laws were friends
Rum in beginning, rum in the end
Oh, Mary, keep me alive, please, keep me straight
Oh, Mary, defining choices that I make
Surprised how you get on with brothers
You are so different from others
Those flowers that I stole for you
The ones that used to get my friend out of the blue
Oh, Mary, still can't believe that you are mine
Oh, Mary, still can't believe that you must die
Like thunder were those sounds for me
Every red drop -away of living spree
There is nothing I could say or do
The time I held you body but it wasn't you
Oh, Mary, still can't believe that you are mine
Oh, Mary, still can't believe that you must die
