Her Name Was Mary

Her name was Mary

But they called her Blue

She was the saddest little baby I ever knew

Her daddy run away when she was two

Awe, her name was Mary but they called her Blue

She grew up a lookin' right

And all the boys would come around at night

Call out her name and try to change her will

But she only had eyes for Bill

Awe, she only had eyes for Bill

Billy was the no good son of a no good son

Drinking whiskey and shooting guns

He only saw a woman as a thing to do

Her name was Mary but they called her Blue

Awe, her name was Mary but they called her Blue

Mary had them starry eyes

And Billy was good at telling lies

He said "Mary, I am so in love with you"

She said "Billy you can do what you wanna do"

Awe, Billy did what he wanted to...

She rode in to town one day

Caught Billy talking up Elsie Kay

She said "Billy, I thought you should know, you've got s baby child on the way"

Billy just laughed and said "that's ok"

Elsie said "Billy, what you gonna do?"

Billy said "Her name was Mary, but they called her Blue"

Awe her name is Mary but they call her Blue

So Mary took her life and their unborn daughter

With a bottle full of pills and a glass of water

They said she should've been someone some one adored

But they don't call her Blue no more

Awe, they don't call her Blue no more

Well her name was Mary but they called her Blue

She was the saddest little baby I ever knew

Her Daddy run away when she was two

Awe, her name was Mary but they called her Blue

Her name was Mary but they called her Blue
