The Cats - Mary Lee lyrics
[The Cats - Mary Lee lyrics]
I got in town tonight, I wasn’t feeling right
Stopped in a lonely bar for a drink or two
The lights were turned down low and
The whiskey started to flow
Then I saw a girl looking lonely too
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
I drank the whiskey down
Moved my mind around
The jukebox played a song from way back home
She put her hand on mine, oh lord
It felt so fine she said: "Hey
There ain’t no cause to drink alone"
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
And god knows I wanted more but
I had felt that hand before
I closed my eyes and saw a memory
And when she said her name
I cried out loud in shame
She said: "Everybody calls me Mary Lee"
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
Stopped in a lonely bar for a drink or two
The lights were turned down low and
The whiskey started to flow
Then I saw a girl looking lonely too
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
I drank the whiskey down
Moved my mind around
The jukebox played a song from way back home
She put her hand on mine, oh lord
It felt so fine she said: "Hey
There ain’t no cause to drink alone"
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
And god knows I wanted more but
I had felt that hand before
I closed my eyes and saw a memory
And when she said her name
I cried out loud in shame
She said: "Everybody calls me Mary Lee"
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
She was a wild barroom woman
Looked just like the girl I used to know
The girl I left in Tennessee
With our daughter Mary Lee
And on a night like this, I miss them so
