- - - x2
It was a fine day in the fifth grade
when Mary May let Bobby walk her home from school
he had her books in hand and he was listening to every word she said
like it was the gospel of the prophecies
and he loved the way her hair fell across her dress
went home singing who wrote the book of love
and try a little tenderness
- - - x2
the next day on the playground
bobby sat Mary down on the swingset behind the sandbox
and she said, Bobby i just wanna play
so what is it you have to say?
He said, mary, marry me.
we could live out by the sea
like the do on the movie screen.
oh, marry me, mary may, before you go back to play
- - - x2
And then back to the verse. Continue throughout. Lovely song, you can listen to it on
his website, his CDs are a bit hard to come by, especially over here. Comments welcome
