[00:00.79]These are the words of a frontier lad
[00:04.97]
[00:05.75]Who lost his love when he turned ba-ad
[00:13.15]
[00:18.51]Take a message to Mary
[00:21.06]
[00:21.93]But don't tell â'er where I am
[00:24.86]
[00:26.79]Take a message to Mary but don't say I'm in a jam
[00:33.13]
[00:34.14]You can tell her I had to see the world
[00:38.06]
[00:38.57]Or tell â'er that my ship set sail
[00:41.55]
[00:42.26]You can say she better not wait for me
[00:46.63]But don't tell her I'm in jail
[00:49.62]
[00:50.51]Oh don't tell her I'm in jail
[00:53.98]
[00:55.58]Take a message to Mary
[00:58.10]
[00:58.61]But don't tell â'er what I've done
[01:01.69]
[01:03.09]Please don't mention the stagecoach
[01:06.07]
[01:06.71]And the shot from a careless gun
[01:10.03]
[01:10.73]You can tell her I had to change my plans
[01:14.93]And cancel out the wedding day
[01:18.22]
[01:18.83]But please don't mention my lonely cell
[01:23.11]Where I'm gonna pine away
[01:26.43]
[01:27.07]Until my dying day
[01:30.76]
[01:32.05]Take a message to Mary
[01:34.62]
[01:35.30]But don't tell â'er all you know
[01:38.16]
[01:39.48]My heart's achin' for Mary
[01:42.72]
[01:43.33]Lord knows I miss her so
[01:46.23]
[01:47.38]Just tell her I went to Timbuktu
[01:51.07]
[01:51.70]Tell her I'm searchin' for gold
[01:54.72]
[01:55.40]You can say she better find someone new
[01:59.66]To cherish and to hold
[02:03.04]
[02:03.73]Oh Lord this cell is cold
[02:07.20]
[02:08.31]Ma-ary Ma-a-a-a-ary
[02:15.91]Oh Lord this cell is cold
