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
But sound to the ground by creeping ivy coils
7
O Mary you have seduced my soul
8
And I don't know right from wrong
9
Forever a hostage of your child's world
10
And then I ran my tin-cup heart along
11
The prison of her ribs
12
And with a toss of her curls
13
That little girl goes wading in
14
Rollin her dress up past her knee
15
Turning these waters into wine
16
Then she platted all the willow vines
17
Mary in the shallows laughing
18
Over where the carp dart
19
Spooked by the new shadows that she cast
20
Across these sad waters and across my heart
