Mary Riley

There goes Mary Riley
With fire in her eyes
And as she dances in the moonlight
She drives me mild
She had seven brothers
And boy did they like to fight
And I'm not much to look at
But I'll muscle up tonight
As I crawl along her back porch
I hope I don't make no noise
A light comes on the door swings open
And out come seven boys
They know what I'm here for
This is not their first time
We warned ya Paddy Murphy
Ah yeah and this is the last time
Oh I say
Mary please don't break my heart
Mary please don't break my heart
Mary you are the one
Mary you are the one for me
Mary you are the one
Mary you are the one
The one the one the one
Well I've been hiding in the courtyard
What seems like 30 days and 30 nights
And as I glance across the ridge way
I see about five of those Riley boys
Well they come at me with a vengeance
And I strike them down with spite
Well here comes six and seven
Boy I'm feelin' riley tonight!
Mary please don't break my heart
Mary please don't break my heart
Mary you are the one
Mary you are the one for me
Mary you are the one
Mary you are the one
The one the one the one
There goes Mary Riley
With fire in her eyes
And as she dances in the moonlight
She drives me mild
She had seven brothers
And boy did they like to fight
And I'm not much to look at
But I killed them all last night!
