Lyrics
Pretty Mary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay,
So fare thee well darlin' I'm goin' away.
Your parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor,
They say I'm not worthy to enter your door.
Pretty mary, pretty mary, would you think me unkind,
If I were to see you and tell you my mind?
As sure as the dew drops fall on the green corn.
Last night I was with her, tonight I am gone.
My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay,
So fare thee well darlin' I'm goin away.
