Burl Ives - Call Me Mr. In-Between lyrics
[Burl Ives - Call Me Mr. In-Between lyrics]
Buy my sweetheart some flowers
For Saturday's date and I
Restlessly counted the hours
Then today in the mail I
Received this short little note
And I broke down inside at the
Message that her mother wrote
Mary Ann regrets she's unable
To see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor
Boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love
Good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
The weeks have gone by
Not a word have I heard since then
In the papers I read of the
Far away places she's been i can't eat
I can't sleep for over and over again
My mind reads that letter and I
Cry for my Mary Ann
Mary Ann regrets she's unable
To see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor
Boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love
Good-bye my sweet Mary Ann
My Mary Ann died
They said she just wasted away
If I could have seen her
I know she'd be living today
For we loved each other and if
They'd have left us alone
Today she'd be wearing my ring
Not a blanket of stone
Mary Ann regrets she's unable
To see you again
We're leaving for Europe next week
She'll be busy till then
They know that she loves me but poor
Boys don't fit in their plan
Good-bye true love
Good-bye my sweet Mary-Ann
