1
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
2
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
3
We go down to the river where the willows weep
4
Take a naked root for a lovers seat
5
That rose out of the bitten soil
6
Sound to the ground by creeping ivy coils
7
O Mary you have seduced my soul
8
Forever a hostage of your child's world
9
And then I ran my tin-cup heart along, the prison of her ribs
10
And then with a toss of her curls that little girl goes wading in
11
Rollin' her dress up past her knee
12
Turning these waters into wine, then she platted all the willow vines
13
Mary in the shallows laughing
14
Over where the carp dart
15
Spooked by the new shadows that she cast
16
Across these sad waters and across my heart
